The Levenhuk Blitz 114 BASE telescope is a classical Newtonian reflector for astronomical observations. It is designed for deep sky object observations: globular clusters, binary stars as well as planetary and diffuse nebulae. Outer space is also well discernible up to Saturn. Since the telescope has a classic 1.25" focuser, and most of the optical accessories that are widely available on the market are compatible with it. However, three eyepieces and a Barlow lens are already included, so you can start observing right away.
The optical elements of the telescope are made of glass with an anti-reflective coating. The mirror has a spherical shape and renders a good quality image without distortions up to the maximum useful magnification. A forked azimuth mount is used to set the optical tube on objects. A microscrew on the vertical axis allows for a more precise setting.
The aluminum with adjustable height tripod features an accessory tray.
Features:
- Reflector with optimal aperture and picture resolution
- Fork azimuth mount with a microscrew on the vertical axis
- Glass optics with an anti-reflective coating
- A great assistant in the study of deep space objects – galaxies, nebulae, etc.
