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.The telescope
BRESSER Messier AR-102Consists of a refractor telescope and an equatorial mount with tripod included. The optics have a free aperture of 102 mm with a focal length of 1000 mm and an aperture ratio of F9.8. The refractor has many additional features such as grip rings with integrated camera holder, 31.7 mm (1.25") zenith mirror or 6x30 finder. With the EXOS-2 equatorial mount, also called parallactic, one axis is aligned with the North Star. When tracking a celestial object, only one axis needs to be moved, which makes tracking easier compared to mounts that only have left/right and up/down axes (azimuthal mount). With the 6x30 finder with reticle included in the set, celestial objects are easily found. 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 steel tube tripod is height adjustable and thus ensures a comfortable observation position. Application: The
BRESSER Messier AR-102With
EXOS-2Offers the ambitious amateur astronomer quality optics with a very stable universal mount. The telescope's 102 mm aperture is ideal for detailed observations of the Moon and the planets of our solar system. In addition, the telescope collects enough light to look beyond the night sky. Star clusters or various nebulae can be observed in a dark sky. With a total weight of approximately 21 kilograms, consisting of the three parts (tube, mount with counterweight, tripod), the telescope is suitable for use outside bright cities, where the optics can give their maximum performance.
Special features: Saddle Bresser EXOS-2. Equatorial (parallactic) mount with a load capacity of up to 13 kilograms (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.
