AC 102/1000 Messier Hexafoc EXOS-2 Telescope

The BRESSER AC 102 optical system: both ambitious beginners and advanced astronomers can use this instrument to find the brightest objects outside our solar system. Discover the structures of the Orion Nebula across an incredible distance of 1,500 light-years. The quality and convenience of this instrument represent a new standard in this price category. Thanks to its sophisticated mechanical system, it is now possible to take photographs of the Moon, and observing the light-dark boundary (the lunar terminator) becomes a pleasure.

The advantages at a glance:

- excellent price-performance ratio

- compact optical system with high rendering quality

The telescope is supplied with the Hexafoc focuser, which has a 64 mm free aperture. For photographic use in particular, the focuser can be retrofitted with a 1:10 reducer (see "Recommended Accessories"). This fine-tuning allows for more precise focus adjustment.

The EXOS-2 mount: The EXOS-2 is a stable mount with a high payload capacity and precise tracking for visual observations, and with motors, also for astrophotography. Double radial ball bearings on both axes ensure precise operation, and the optimized bearings on the AR axis leave virtually no backlash. This mount is very stable and precisely manufactured. It is an economical way to get started in astrophotography.
