BRESSER Polaris-II 102/600 EQ3 refractor telescope with smartphone adapter and solar filter

NEW - now with high quality solar filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planetary transits.With the included smartphone camera adapter, you can take pictures of your observations directly through the telescope eyepiece.

Moon, planets, stars: thebRESSER Polaris-II 102/600 EQ3 lens telescopebrings the beauties of the universe closer to beginners in astronomy. The complete set includes everything you need to admire the night sky: theastronomical lens telescopeWith 102 mm aperture and 600 mm focal length, equatorial mount, tripod and a wide range of accessories for exciting astronomical observations. Explore the fascinating surface of the moon and observe the wonders of the planets. You can go even further: this telescope also shows star clusters and deep sky gas nebulae. Handling it is very easy and in no time at all you will have a successful start in astronomy .

Getting started in astronomy with a classic: the telescope
Effortless handling, impressive images: As an easy-to-use Fraunhofer type achromatic refractor, this classic lens telescope is ideal for beginners and children. Thanks to its modern precision-coated optics it offers good imaging properties.

The 102 mm aperture collects a lot of light from celestial objects. In addition, the 102 mm aperture and 600 mm focal length result in an average focal ratio (ratio of aperture to focal length) of approximately 1 to 6 (F/6).With this average focal ratio, the starter telescope is an all-rounder for all celestial objects.See interesting details on the moon and planets at high magnification. Or choose medium to low magnification and you'll admire open star clusters like the Pleiades, globular clusters like M13, or gas nebulae like the Orion Nebula M42.

Speaking of magnification: how large will celestial objects appear through this entry-level telescope? The 102 mm aperture achieves resolving power that easily allows for magnifications ofup to approximately 200x with sharp images. Technically, the telescope offers more. However, as magnification increases, images can become blurry. The telescope is not the only factor that determines the possible degree of magnification. Air turbulence in the atmosphere (observing conditions) also plays an important role.

Solid base for your celestial exploration: mount and tripod
Found the perfect spot for observing? Then install the telescope on the height-adjustable aluminum tripod with equatorial mount. Advantage of equatorial mounts: Unlike an azimuthal mount, you don't have to move both axes at the same time. Instead, one axis is simply aligned parallel to the Earth's axis at the beginning. In this so-called alignment, you point the axis in the direction of the pole star. After that, you will be able to track celestial bodies only on this axis.

Another advantage of this mount is that the axes are moved via two flexible shafts with precision adjustment. Perfect for convenient adjustment and alignment of this entry-level telescope. While observing fascinating discoveries, you will always have your accessories at hand on the additional storage plate between the tripod legs.

Everything you need to take your first steps in stargazing: accessories
The astronomy set contains many accessories with which to immediately embark on your journey of discovery of the night sky. Use thelED search engineTo precisely align your starter telescope and find celestial objects more easily. Just install the parallel direction finder on your telescope. It projects a red dot on a small frosted glass screen that appears to be floating in front of the sky when you look through. Since the aperture of your telescope points in exactly the same direction, this helps in tracking the night sky.

Two eyepieces (K-20 mm, K-4 mm) are includedTo admire celestial bodies at two different magnifications. In addition, you can also triple the magnification of the eyepieces with the3x Barlow lens. If you ever want to change the perspective during your astronomical observations, thestandard tube diameter 31.7 mm(1.25 inches) offers a wide variety of additional eyepieces.

The90 degree star diagonal mirrorProvides more comfort and a more pleasurable view. Even when your starter telescope is pointed vertically upward, you can view from the side.
