Skyline Travel 70mm Telescope with Solar Filter

The Levenhuk Skyline Travel Sun 70 telescope is a compact refractor suitable for long hikes and trips. It features a 40 cm long optical tube with a 70 mm aperture. The kit includes a handy backpack large enough to carry the telescope, a mount, a tripod, and all necessary accessories. This optical tool is suitable for observing planets and satellites, as well as for viewing landscapes and architecture down to the smallest detail. Under ideal weather conditions, you can observe most Messier objects (details will be invisible), the Cassini Division, Saturn's rings, and Jupiter's Great Red Spot.

This portable refractor comes with a special protective solar filter. In clear weather, you can perform solar observations and see sunspots with your own eyes. Extreme caution should be exercised when observing solar activity. Always ensure a solar filter is securely attached to the telescope tube. The filter must fit snugly against the optical tube and completely cover the objective lens. When observing the Sun, cover the finderscope with a protective cap or remove it to prevent accidental damage to your eyes.

The kit includes a diagonal prism that provides an upright (distortion-free) image. The telescope is therefore 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 finderscope allows you to quickly search for an object in the night sky. You can achieve 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 a manually controlled altazimuth mount. The handgrip is used to move the telescope along the vertical and horizontal axes. This optical tool requires no setup; just set it up and start observing. The height of the aluminum tripod can be adjusted from 40 cm to 125 cm, making it suitable for astronomers of any height.

This small refractor telescope with excellent optical capabilities is a great gift for a school-aged child or an avid adult astronomer. It comes with a durable backpack that includes special pockets for carrying the telescope, tripod, and optical accessories.
