Levenhuk Blitz 80s PLUS \u2013 80\/400 Refractor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Levenhuk Blitz 80s PLUS<\/strong> is a compact, large-field binocular for beginners who are looking for a lightweight and easy-to-carry telescope for home or travel. This achromatic refractor<\/strong> With an 80 mm aperture and a 400 mm focal length, it is particularly suitable for wide-field astronomy, bright deep-sky objects, and daytime nature observation. The optics are made of glass with anti-reflective coating<\/strong> For a clear and high-contrast image. Thanks to the short construction and the standard 1.25 inch eyepiece holder<\/strong> Is this a flexible model for beginners who may want to expand later?.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you can expect in practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Due to the short focal length <\/strong>And the relatively large opening provides this telescope with a wide field of view. This makes it very suitable for viewing large star fields, open star clusters, and other prominent objects in the sky. The Moon is also nicely visible, although the emphasis with this type of telescope is less on high magnifications and more on overview. Bright planets are observable, but expect a modest level of detail compared to longer refractors or larger reflectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For deep-sky objects<\/strong> Is this model a good choice as a first large telescope? Under a dark sky, you can nicely locate bright nebulae and star clusters, although fainter objects remain visually subtle and colorless. The included eyepieces provide practical magnifications for wide-field observation. For daytime use, this telescope is also pleasant to use for Nature Observation<\/strong>, partly thanks to the included 45\u00b0 diagonal prism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Levenhuk<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Compact and easy to follow with an equatorial mount<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The EQ1 assembly<\/strong> makes it possible to track objects in the sky more calmly than with a simple alt-azimuth mount. For beginners, this is an accessible way to get acquainted with equatorial observing. With the included Fine-tuning knobs<\/strong> You manually make fine adjustments while observing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The viewer is provided with a counterweight<\/strong> for good balance on the mount. Focusing is easier with the optical viewfinder 5x24<\/strong>, and focusing is done by a rack and pinion focuser<\/strong>. The aluminium tripod<\/strong> is height-adjustable and equipped with an accessory tray. Thanks to its compact design, this viewer is also pleasant to take to a dark observation spot outside the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
