Frequently Asked Questions - Blitz 80s Levenhuk

How do I set up the Levenhuk Blitz 80s telescope?
First, extend the tripod legs and secure them. Attach the optical tube to the mount using the dovetail plate. Install the finderscope, diagonal, and eyepiece. Balance the tube by adjusting the mount. Finally, align the finderscope with the main telescope during daytime.
Can I observe the sun with this telescope?
Only with a proper solar filter covering the front aperture. Never use eyepiece filters alone. Pointing at the sun without a filter can instantly damage your eyes and the telescope.
What can I see with an 80mm aperture?
You can see lunar craters, Jupiter's cloud bands and its four brightest moons, Saturn's rings, bright deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy, and many star clusters.
How do I clean the lenses?
Use a soft brush to remove dust, then a lens cleaning cloth with a drop of isopropyl alcohol if needed. Wipe gently in a circular motion. Avoid touching the lens surfaces with fingers.
Why is my image upside down?
Refractor telescopes naturally produce an inverted image. For terrestrial viewing, use an erecting prism (not included). For astronomy, inversion is normal and does not affect observation.
What is the highest magnification?
The maximum useful magnification is about 160x, determined by the aperture (80 mm × 2). Using a barlow lens or shorter eyepiece beyond this limit will result in dim, blurry views.
How do I collimate the telescope?
Refractors like the Blitz 80s are factory-collimated and rarely need adjustment. If you suspect misalignment, check for a collimation screw on the objective cell. Do not loosen without proper knowledge.
Is the Blitz 80s good for astrophotography?
It can capture bright objects like the Moon and planets with a smartphone adapter. For deep-sky, a motorized equatorial mount is recommended, but the included altazimuth mount limits long exposures.
What accessories should I buy next?
A Moon filter for comfortable lunar viewing, an eye-relief eyepiece for eyeglass wearers, and a red dot finder for easier aiming. A solar filter is essential for solar observation.
How do I store the telescope?
Keep it in a dry, dust-free environment. Remove eyepieces and cover the tube with a cap. Store the tripod folded. Avoid extreme temperature changes to prevent dew formation.
