BRESSER Messier AR-102xs/460 EXOS-1/EQ4 Telescope

NEW - now includes a high-quality objective solar filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses, and planetary transits. A high-quality telescope for night and solar observation.

Ambitious beginners and advanced users alike 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). Exploring the terminator on the moon is a pleasure. You'll never want to put down the MESSIER AR-102xs.

As a compact travel device, the MESSIER AR-102xs is very useful. The very short focal length of only 460 mm allows for impressive wide-field observations of open clusters and the Milky Way. Only by using special ED glass were we able to create this very bright device. It offers extraordinarily high image quality with very little chromatic aberration at an attractive price.

EXOS-1 Mount and tripod. The entry-level segment of the BRESSER Messier series. On the BRESSER EXOS 1, smaller optics are stably mounted. The days when price-conscious customers found it difficult to get into astronomy due to undersized mounts are over. The EXOS 1 with its robust stainless steel tripod stably and wobble-free supports the optics offered up to a weight of 7 kg for visual observations. For even more comfort during observation, the mount can be upgraded with a motor for the RA axis. This way, you will always have the celestial object in the eyepiece, without having to manually move the telescope following the movement of the stars.
