Levenhuk Skyline Travel Sun 70 Refractor Telescope with Solar Filter

The Levenhuk Skyline Travel Sun 70 is a compact and versatile refractor telescope designed for both daytime terrestrial observations and safe solar viewing. With a 70 mm aperture and 400 mm focal length, it offers bright, sharp images of the Moon, planets, and even the Sun thanks to the included solar filter. The alt-azimuth mount and aluminum tripod provide stable and smooth operation, making it an excellent choice for beginners and hobby astronomers.

Advantages

This telescope features fully multi-coated optics for enhanced light transmission and contrast. The included 3x Barlow lens doubles the magnification of each eyepiece, giving you a range of magnifications from 20x to 120x. The 90-degree diagonal prism ensures comfortable viewing angles, while the 5x24 optical finder scope helps you locate objects quickly. The rack-and-pinion focuser allows precise focusing. A carrying case is included for easy transport and storage.
