Astronomy and space photography are no longer hobbies that are only for seasoned pros. Now, anyone can explore the vastness of the universe, and Levenhuk Kelvin is here to help! Meet 8 new phototelescopes from the Kelvin Nova BASE and Nova PLUS series.
Their standout feature is seamless smartphone integration. Who says you need expensive photo gear to shoot the night sky? Your phone’s camera can deliver impressive results. See for yourself!
Just mount your iPhone or Android smartphone in the special adapter and start observing. To keep every shot sharp, vivid, and free from accidental blur, use the Bluetooth remote. It triggers the shutter instantly from a distance and without shaking the setup.
For your first steps in astronomy
Are you dreaming of peering into space but you are worried it might be too complicated? It isn’t! Our phototelescopes are designed to ensure that your first success happens right out of the box. The Moon will be your first spectacular subject. When you are ready for more, aim at Saturn or Jupiter to see the rings and moons clearly, even as a beginner. Operating the phototelescope is incredibly easy since the special pan handle mount makes it as simple as using a spotting scope.
For exploring the Solar System’s planets
When your initial curiosity grows into a real interest, you need a more serious tool. The models in this category reveal the planets like never before. You can track the Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto), watch Venus’s phases change, and make out the structure of Saturn’s rings. High-quality optics gather more light, making the image richer and more contrasty. You can capture it all with an ordinary smartphone and share it with your friends right away! When the sky gets too bright, point the lens at the horizon and start observing mountains, forests, animals, and birds. The image will have the correct terrestrial orientation without any extra adjustments.
For diving into the wonders of deep space
Are you ready for objects hiding millions of light-years from Earth? These optics open up deep-sky treasures. Bright star clusters, the haze of nebulae, and distant galaxies will no longer be mere abstractions. The darker your surroundings are, the more details you will see, making out-of-town observations an adventure of their own. One of the models below comes with an equatorial mount that compensates for the Earth’s daily rotation, making it much easier to track astronomical objects across the sky.
For exciting trips and travel
Stars are not tied to just one place, and neither are you. These phototelescopes are easy to take with you since a carry bag is already included in the kit. Go on a hike, head out to the countryside, or simply set up a viewing session on your balcony. The phototelescope will not take up much space, but it will give you a wealth of unforgettable experiences. During the day, you can turn it into a spotting scope for exploring landscapes because the optics deliver an upright image that feels natural to the eye.
These new models still have plenty of surprises in store for you. Learn more about them on their product pages in our online catalog.
