Under the name of Messier , the traditional Bresser house offers telescopes for ambitious beginners with a Great value for the price . Messier telescope systems are expandable and retrofittable, making them useful well beyond the initial steps.

Maksutov Optics: Maksutov telescopes are very compact and therefore ideal for traveling astronomy or trips. The closed tube and the stability of the Maksutov are a guarantee of excellent robustness.

Despite their compact design, the Maksutovs offer a great focal length . That is why its field of view is a little more limited than in lens telescopes. This combination makes them excellent tools for observing planets and the Moon , but also compact deep-sky objects , such as planetary nebulae (e.g., Lyre or Dumbbell) and open star clusters (e.g., Hercules). This selection of objects is ideal for astronomers observing from areas near cities with light pollution, since large objects with low surface brightness are absorbed by the luminosity present in the sky. Due to their construction, Maksutov telescopes do not exhibit chromatic aberration.

Equipped with an Amici prism, this optic is also suitable for terrestrial observation and photography.

Frame Bresser EXOS 2:

EXOS-2 is a stable mount with high load capacity (optical systems weighing up to 13 kg) and with precise tracking, for visual observations, and also for astronomical photography. Double grooved radial ball bearings on both axles ensure precise running and optimized RA axle housings minimize play. Furthermore, this Very stable mount, with very precise mechanization , allows you to get started in astronomical photography in an economical way. As an option you can add a two-axis motorized control.
