Sooner or later, you will see everything there is to see with the standard kit and decide it is time to
delve deeper into the cosmos. The additional accessories we are providing will see to it! We have
included:
•
a
6.3 mm eyepiece, a wonderful all-purpose eyepiece that allows you to achieve higher magnifi-
cations, necessary for observations of the Moon and planets;
•
a solar filter that allows you to observe the Sun without risking permanent eye damage;
•
a lunar filter that reduces the glare of the lunar surface and enhances the details of the land-
scape;
•
four filters that will come in handy for planetary observations, enhancing the features of the
surface;
•
a 2x Barlow lens that is capable of doubling the focal length of the telescope. It, therefore, dou-
bles the magnification of any eyepiece used.
All this allows you to use your Levenhuk Strike PRO to the maximum of its capabilities, opening a
gateway into the mysterious cosmos, straight after purchase! These accessories and the telescope itself
are safe even for your children to use, and their quality and reliability make sure that you can enjoy
high-quality views of the universe for years to come.
2. Stellarium. This is a 3D planetarium that allows you to plan your
observations and explore the night sky several years in the future.
The database of this software contains over 600,000 stars, planets of
the Solar System, the Moon, comets and asteroids, galaxies, nebulae
and star clusters. All this can be rendered in just a few moments and
studied directly on your computer!
3. Set of posters (The Moon, The Sun and other stars, The Solar
System). These posters will help you explore the universe and learn
interesting facts about the Solar system, its planets and satellites,
as well as various distant stars. Colorful illustrations and captions
present necessary information in an easy-to-read format. The posters
are 84 cm x 60 cm (A1).
4. Planisphere. This rotating star chart is a handy tool that allows
you to find out what celestial objects and constellations are visible
above the horizon at a given date and time. All you need to do is align
the viewer and the star chart, therefore, providing a date and time.
5. Compass. It is truly an invaluable tool that can help you orient
yourself to the Northern pole on your observation site. Afterwards,
it is easy to locate Polaris in the night sky, which provides a starting
point for further observations.
We also wanted to make sure that your telescope is protected when
moved or stored. Therefore, we have added a telescope case to the
kit:
Levenhuk Zongo 80 (Strike 900 PRO) or Levenhuk Zongo 60
(Strike 950 PRO, Strike 1000 PRO).
The case is made of a sturdy waterproof material and the padded
lining protects the telescope from any impacts. The case is also fitted
with handle straps, full-length zippers and separate compartments for
the mount and accessories.
