The Levenhuk Discovery Spark Travel 76 reflector with a book is perfect for basic space observation. It can be used to view bright deep-sky objects, the Moon, and some of the planets. The reflector comes with a large set of optical accessories, a case for storage and transportation, and a colorful book of knowledge. Packaged in a colorful gift box, making the telescope perfect as a surprise for a beginner astronomer, who can then learn a lot of interesting things about space and immediately experience its beauty.

The main element of the optics of the Levenhuk Discovery Spark Travel 76 telescope is a spherical mirror. All optical surfaces are covered with an anti-reflective coating, which makes the produced image sharp, clear, and bright. The telescope tube is pointed at objects with an alt-azimuth mount, which has a lock knob on its vertical axis, making the entire pointing process smoother and more accurate. The tripod is made of metal and is complemented with an accessory tray – it is convenient for placing eyepieces and a 2x Barlow lens, which are already included in the kit.
