The Levenhuk Kelvin Nova PLUS 114/500 Phototelescope is your personal observatory and space photography studio. Gone are the days when exploring the universe required special skills and advanced knowledge! Now, you can discover the stars right from your smartphone: Simply mount it in the special adapter and get ready to capture stunning photos and videos.
The Kelvin Nova PLUS 114/500 is the perfect gateway to the depths of space. It is designed for observing the Milky Way, large star clusters, and nebulae at low magnifications. The phototelescope provides a wide field of view. Therefore, the vast Pleiades or the Andromeda Galaxy fit entirely within the field of view, surrounded by background stars. It gathers enough light so that you can see these objects but also make out their shape and structure.
With the Kelvin Nova PLUS, you can capture not only deep-sky objects but also comet tails and the Moon. At the same time, the surface of the Moon will appear before you in all its glory, as the kit includes a special Moon filter. It reduces excessive brightness, improves contrast, and helps you clearly see craters, mountains, seas, and peninsulas.
Don’t compromise on photo sharpness – use the Bluetooth remote control. Connect it to your smartphone and use it as a shutter to take photos without getting up or touching the telescope. With it, you will forget all about blurry shots and can proudly share beautiful photos with your fellow enthusiasts!
The alt-azimuth mount makes operation very simple, and the relatively compact size of the phototelescope allows you to take it with you on any trip to a cottage, for a picnic, or on a hike.
