BRESSER Messier AR-102xs/460 EXOS-2/EQ5 Goto

NEW - now includes a high quality solar lens filterFor safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planetary transits. A high quality telescope fornight and solar observation.

Ambitious beginners and advanced observers will find the brightest objects outside the solar system with this device. Discover structures in the Orion Nebula at an incredible distance of 1500 light-years (14.200.000.000.000 km). Riding the terminator on the moon is a pleasure. You won't want to stop using theMESSIER AR-102xs.

Likecompact travel device, theMESSIER AR-102xsIs very useful. The very shortfocal length of only 460 mmAllows for impressivebroad field observationsOf open clusters and the Milky Way. Only by usingeD special glassWe were able to make thisvery bright device. It offers extraordinarily high image quality with very little chromatic aberration at a very low costattractive price.

EXOS-2 MountYTripod. In theBRESSER EXOS-2, the smaller optics are stably mounted. The times when price-conscious customers found it difficult to enter astronomy due to undersized mounts are over. The EXOS 2 with its robuststainless steel tripodHolds the optics offered up to a weight of13 kgStable and wobble-free for visual observations.

Mount, TripodYControl commandWithComputer.
This German mount is equipped with tracking motors on both axes that can track and position astronomical objects with high precision. The control knob with GoTo function operates the mount precisely and reliably. Precision gears on both axes allow operation with minimal gear backlash at any of the nine possible speeds. The battery pack (12 V) conveniently attaches to the accessory tray and holds 8 "D" size batteries. The mount includes a sturdy stainless steel tube tripod with high stability and can support optical tubes weighing up to 13 kg. The GoTo control system makes sky observation simple at the push of a button.
With the system Bresser Startracker GoTo, even interested beginners can observe celestial objects in a few minutes, which without GoTo would be difficult or impossible to find. Simply press a button and the GoTo system will search for planets, nebulae or galaxies and position your telescope automatically. The GoTo system database contains countless celestial objects for you. Observe with a Messier series optic with GoTo system celestial objects without time-consuming searches, or photograph faint objects that you cannot reach with classical search methods.
