Description

Manual equatorial tracking and long-focus observation define the Levenhuk AC 70/900 Blitz 70 PLUS EQ, an achromatic refractor with a 70 mm aperture, 900 mm focal length, and listed f/12.85 optical ratio. Its EQ-1 German equatorial mount uses flexible slow-motion cables and a counterweight, while the 5×24 finder, SR4, H12.5, and H20 eyepieces, 1.5x erecting eyepiece, diagonal, aluminum tripod, and accessory tray support lunar, planetary, and suitable terrestrial observation.

The aluminum optical tube uses a 1.25-inch rack-and-pinion focuser, while the EQ-1 mount requires manual alignment and direct cable adjustment to compensate for apparent sky movement. The longer 900 mm focal length supports the listed high-contrast visual format, and the erecting eyepiece provides upright viewing for suitable daytime subjects without requiring batteries, motors, or computerized object location.

Manual Equatorial Lunar and Planetary Tracking

The supplied application focuses on manual right-ascension tracking of lunar terrain, planetary surfaces, bright star patterns, and suitable terrestrial subjects, with the 900 mm focal length supporting the long-focus configuration while the EQ-1 mount provides mechanical slow-motion control and the erecting eyepiece supports upright daytime viewing.

Why Choose Levenhuk AC 70/900 Blitz 70 PLUS EQ
