BRESSER Messier MC-100/1400 EXOS-2 GoTo 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.

High stability and outstanding optics distinguish the BRESSER Messier MC-100 EXOS-2 GoTo Telescope. The 100mm aperture allows you to observe smaller objects in the vastness of space. The high stability of the EXOS-2 GoTo Mount allows for very relaxed observations and supports first attempts at astrophotography.
This device is especially suitable for the Moon, planets, and small planetary nebulae or globular clusters. Due to the long focal length, high magnification is possible even with long focal length eyepieces. The stable and highly precise EXOS-2 GoTo mount helps you find celestial objects and tracks them automatically.

Sky observation at the touch of a button!
With the BRESSER GoTo System, even an interested beginner can observe celestial objects in a few minutes, which they would hardly or never find without GoTo! Simply at the touch of a button, the GoTo system searches for planets, nebulae, or galaxies and positions your telescope completely automatically. The GoTo system's database contains over 100,000 celestial objects and also has space for your own objects, which can be saved. Observe celestial objects with Messier series optics with the GoTo system without long searches, or photograph faint objects that you could not reach with classic search methods. The StarTracker GoTo system features servo motors on both axes, as well as an ST-4 compatible autoguiding connection with directly adjustable aggressiveness.
