Levenhuk Discovery Spark Travel 50 is designed to observe the Moon and terrestrial objects. According to its optical scheme, it is an achromatic refractor. The optical glass lenses have an anti-reflective coating, which contributes to the reflective properties of the telescope and improves the quality of the picture. The short focal length provides a wide FOV, so you can cover a wide area with a single glance. The telescope tube is mounted on an easy-to-use alt-azimuth mount and moves easily in both azimuth and altitude directions.

- Simple short-focus refractor on an alt-azimuth mount
