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 MAK80 phototelescope, astrophotography is within everyone’s reach. Assemble the telescope, point it at your target, attach your phone using the adapter, and you are ready to explore and photograph planets, lunar craters, and bright nebulae. Thanks to the included Bluetooth remote shutter, you don’t even need to touch your smartphone. Snap photos remotely to eliminate camera shake and make blurry images a thing of the past.

During the day, the telescope doubles as a powerful spotting scope for observing wildlife and sweeping landscapes. Both the finder and eyepiece provide a comfortable, upright image, while the ergonomic pan handle lets you point the telescope smoothly without ever touching the optical tube. The high-precision focuser helps you achieve perfect sharpness, delivering crisp, highly detailed images.

The phototelescope is compact and lightweight. Whether you set it up on a city balcony or take it on a countryside getaway, you can discover the universe wherever you are.
