The Levenhuk Discovery Spark 506 AZ telescope achromatic refractor for beginners. It is an easy tool to use. Furthermore, it is suitable for taking your first steps in the world of astronomy as well as for observing the Moon. In addition to practical applications, with this tool you can also expand your theoretical knowledge! The telescope, in fact, is sold accompanied by a colorful educational book on space. During the day, the telescope can easily be converted into a ground spotting scope for studying natural panoramas and objects on the horizon.
The optics are made of glass, so the telescope reproduces clear and bright images. The achromatic optical scheme and anti-reflective lens treatment improves image quality, minimizing optical aberrations. A classic altazimuth mount is used to point the telescope, which can be easily used at any skill level. The mount is installed on a sturdy aluminum tripod with adjustable height. This allows each member of the family to find a comfortable position from which to observe the stars.
One of the advantages of the Levenhuk Discovery Spark 506 AZ is the rich set of accessories. In addition to the telescope, the colorful gift box contains two eyepieces with different focal lengths, a 3x Barlow lens and other accessories. The illustrated educational book “Space. Void not-void” will answer the many questions of every aspiring space explorer, providing interesting information on the various celestial bodies.
