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.

The Levenhuk Kelvin Nova PLUS 70/700 Phototelescope will help you take your first steps into the world of astronomy and astrophotography. With it, you will discover craters, seas, mountain ranges, and rilles on the surface of the Moon – they will impress even those who have seen them before. In addition to Earth’s satellite, you’ll discover Saturn’s rings, the Galilean moons “dancing” around Jupiter, and the crescent of Venus as it changes phases. You will also be able to see some star clusters such as the Pleiades, Hyades, and Beehive Cluster.

You can instantly capture any beautiful view using only your smartphone. Place your iPhone or Android device in a special adapter and align its camera with the telescope’s eyepiece to start stargazing. You will capture vibrant photos and breathtaking videos like a pro, even if this is your first time trying astrophotography! To prevent blur in your precious shots, use the Bluetooth remote shutter to trigger your smartphone’s camera.

If you still have a few hours to wait before the starry night, you can use the phototelescope as a powerful telephoto lens for your smartphone camera to capture nature, architectural ensembles, and cityscapes. The image in the Levenhuk Kelvin Nova PLUS 70/700 is exactly as it appears in reality, not inverted like it is in conventional telescopes.

The phototelescope is assembled in just a few minutes, and the kit includes everything you need for observing and smartphone space photography.
