This portable refractor comes with a special protective solar filter. In good weather, you can make solar observations and see sunspots with your own eyes. Great caution should be used when observing solar activity. Always be sure to have a solar filter securely attached to the telescope tube. The filter should be tightly fitted to the optical tube and completely cover the objective lens. When observing the Sun, cover the finder scope with a protective cap or remove it to avoid accidental damage to your eyes.
The kit includes a diagonal mirror that provides a vertical (undistorted) image. Therefore, the telescope is also suitable for terrestrial observations; it can be used as a powerful spotting scope. The kit also includes 67x and 20x eyepieces, a 3x Barlow lens and a solar filter. The maximum practical power of this telescope is 140x. A handy 5x24 finder scope allows you to quickly search for an object in the night sky. You can obtain 200x magnification with the accessories included in the kit.
The Levenhuk Skyline Travel Sun 70 is a telescope with a shortened, lightweight optical tube. It is mounted on an altazimuth mount with manual control. The handle is used to move the telescope on the vertical and horizontal axis. This optical tool requires no setup; just mount it and start observing. The height of an aluminum tripod can be adjusted from 40 cm to 125 cm so that astronomers of any height can use it.
This small refractor telescope with excellent optical capabilities makes a great gift for a school-age child or an enthusiastic adult astronomer. It comes with a sturdy backpack that includes special pockets for carrying a telescope, tripod and optical accessories.
Never look directly at the Sun without a special protective sunscreen - looking at the sun without proper sunscreen can cause permanent eye damage, even total blindness!
