NEW - now includes a high quality lens sun filterFor safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planetary transits. A high quality telescope for
night and solar observation.Thanks to its short design, this instrument offers particularly wide and bright fields of view. Don't miss the observation of the Andromeda galaxy with the
BRESSER Messier AR-127S! The brightness of this object, which can be seen more than 2 million light-years away, is as spectacular in the MESSIER AR-127S as the observation of large gas nebulae. Thanks to the large aperture, nebula filters can now be used in the
Messier AR-127S, this makes it possible to observe gas nebulae with incredibly clear contrast. The short tube length and the stable mount make this combination ideal for quick observations, especially if the device is frequently transported. Thanks to the special construction as a four-lens achromat, low chromatic aberration and better photographic correction is achieved compared to similar two-lens devices, despite the very fast focal ratio of f/5 for a refractor.
The
TelescopeConsists of a refracting telescope (
Refractor) and an equatorial mount with tripod included. The optic has a free aperture of 127 mm with a focal length of 635 mm and a focal ratio of F5. The refractor has many extras such as tube clamps with grip and integrated camera mount, 31.7 mm (1.25") zenith mirror or 8x50 finder. With the EXOS-2 equatorial (also known as parallactic) mount, one axis is aligned with the North Star. When tracking a celestial object, only one axis needs to be moved, which makes tracking much easier compared to mounts that only have left/right and up/down axes (azimuthal mount). With the 8x50 finder included in the set, celestial objects are easily found. The finder also has a reticle for more comfortable observing in the dark. The mount also features an illuminated polar finder that greatly simplifies northward alignment. By means of two flexible shafts connected to the fine motion unit, objects can be precisely adjusted and tracked in the eyepiece. The stable stainless steel tube tripod is height adjustable and thus ensures a comfortable observing position.
Field of application: The
BRESSER Messier AR-127At
EXOS-2Offers the ambitious amateur astronomer good optics with a stable universal mount. The telescope aperture of 127 mm and the short focal length are perfect for large objects such as open star clusters and large nebulae. For detailed observations of the Moon and the planets of our solar system, it is recommended to purchase additional eyepieces and/or a Barlow lens to increase the focal length. With a total weight of approximately 24 kg, consisting of the three parts (tube, mount with counterweight, tripod), the telescope is ideal for use outside of bright cities. Only then can the optics deliver their maximum performance.
Special features: Saddle Bresser EXOS-2 Equatorial (parallactic) mount with a load capacity of up to 13 kg (depending on telescope length) and polar finder. Ball bearings on both axes allow precise and smooth movement. To facilitate tracking and navigation during observation, an optional GoTo motor set can be used.
