Kelvin: Optics for smartphones. Focus on What Matters!

This digital project blurs the lines between the convenience of mobile photography and the power of professional optics.

With the Levenhuk Kelvin Nova BASE 70/400, anyone can become a professional astrophotographer. All you need to delve into the mysteries of the universe is a few minutes of your time and your own smartphone. Assemble the phototelescope and mount your phone in the adapter to start shooting right away!

Point the telescope at the Moon and prepare to be amazed as craters, mountains, seas, and ridges look quite spectacular. Saturn will appear as a small ball with its rings looking like tiny ears, while near Jupiter’s disk, you’ll be able to make out its four main moons. The telescope will also reveal deep-space objects. For example, the Beehive Cluster and the Great Hercules Cluster will break up into twinkling stars right before your eyes.

Want some variety? Point the telescope at the horizon to explore Earth’s landscapes with a view just like looking through a spyglass. To take a clear photo without touching the device, press the button on the Bluetooth remote shutter from your smartphone. You can share your photos with friends directly from your phone’s gallery in an instant.

Operating the telescope is very simple. Just place your hand on the pan handle and point the telescope at your target. You don’t need any prior knowledge or skills to start photographing space and nature.

Take the Levenhuk Kelvin Nova BASE 70/400 with you on a trip or camping tour to make your travel experiences even more memorable! A carry bag is included in the set.
