BRESSER Messier AR-102L/1350 Telescope with EXOS-1/EQ4 Mount

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

Thanks to the high-quality mechanics of the BRESSER Messier AR-102L, it is already possible to take photos of the moon with this equipment, and traversing the shadow and light line (terminator) on the moon is a pleasure. Ambitious beginners and advanced observers can observe with this planetary telescope already the finest surface details on Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and our Earth's moon. Discover cloud structures and the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, the icy polar cap of Mars, or even the Cassini Division in Saturn's rings.

Thanks to the especially long focal length configuration of f/13.2, this telescope is particularly suitable for planetary observation. High magnifications can also be achieved with affordable eyepieces that still offer a reasonable eye relief. The viewing comfort is, therefore, significantly better than with short focal length refractors.

In addition, these special refractors not only offer very high color purity and sharpness, but also a plastic or even three-dimensional image of the planets.

You will never want to put down the BRESSER Messier AR-102L.

EXOS-1 Mount and tripod.
The beginner segment of the BRESSER Messier series. The smaller optics are stably mounted on the BRESSER EXOS 1. Gone are the days when price-conscious customers struggled to get into astronomy due to undersized mounts. The EXOS 1 with robust stainless steel tripod supports the offered optics up to a weight of 7 kg for visual observation stably and without wobbling. For added convenience 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 track the stars' movement.
