The Levenhuk Discovery Spark 709 EQ is a great option for beginners. This long-focus refractor with achromatic optics will allow you to see the planets of the solar system, study the relief of the Moon in detail and observe some deep sky objects. During the day, the telescope can serve as a spyglass, bringing distant objects closer and allowing you to observe nature.
One of the advantages of the model is the equatorial mount with slow motion control. It will help you aim and track objects with great precision. As for the optics, it is achromatic, that is, free of chromatic distortion, which is usually common in refractors. The lenses have an anti-reflective coating and the image is clear and sharp. You can make observations at different focal lengths. The kit includes three eyepieces, a diagonal mirror, an image erecting eyepiece for terrestrial observation and a powerful Barlow lens.
You can conveniently place all accessories on a tray in the center of the tripod so that they are always at hand. If necessary, the telescope has a standard 1.25" focuser so you can experiment with a wide range of optional accessories. Another special feature of the Levenhuk Discovery Spark 709 EQ is the educational book «Space. Non-empty emptiness» (The space, a not-so-empty immensity). With this illustrated manual you will learn a lot about the sky before you start observing or update your existing knowledge.
