Discovery Spark 709 EQ Stargazing Telescope with Book

The Levenhuk Discovery Spark 709 EQ is a great choice for beginners. The long focal length refractor with achromatic optics allows you to observe the planets of the solar system, study the Moon in detail and observe some deep space objects. During the day, a stargazing telescope can serve as an observing telescope that magnifies distant objects and allows you to observe nature.

Precision equatorial mounting and quality achromatic optics

One of the advantages of this model is the equatorial mounting with slow motion control. It will help you master precision pointing and object tracking. As for the optics, it is achromatic, i.e. without the colour distortion that is often common with refractors. The lenses are coated with anti-reflective coating, the image is clear and sharp. You can make observations at different focal lengths. The kit includes three eyepieces, a screen size mirror, an upright eyepiece for terrestrial viewing and a powerful Barlow lens.

A handy tripod and educational guide for space exploration

You can conveniently place all your accessories in the compartment in the middle of the tripod to keep them close at hand. The stargazing telescope is equipped with a standard 1.25" eyepiece lift, so you can experiment with a wide range of optional accessories if needed. Another special feature of this Levenhuk Discovery Spark 709 EQ stargazing telescope is the educational publication "The Universe. The Empty Void." This illustrated guide will help you learn a lot about the sky before you start observing it, or refresh your existing knowledge.
