BRESSER Messier AR-90s/500 Telescope with EXOS-2/EQ-5 Mount

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.

Ideal for getting started in astronomy: a 90mm aperture provides about 200 times more light than the human eye!
Observe craters, valleys, and rilles on the moon nearly 400,000 km away as if you were right there! The BRESSER MESSIER AR-90s with EXOS II mount offers you detailed images not only of the moon: examine the division of Saturn's rings millions of kilometers away or discover Jupiter's "Great Red Spot," a gigantic storm in its atmosphere. Follow the seasons on Mars and recognize the crescent phase of Venus.

But the AR-90s is also very useful as a compact travel kit. Especially due to the short focal length of only 500 mm, impressive wide-field observations of open star clusters and the Milky Way can be made.

The MESSIER AR-90s already collects several times more light compared to the equipment with which Galileo Galilei made his famous discoveries nearly four hundred years ago.
The permanently installed dew shield reduces possible dew formation and prevents the entry of stray side light, which increases image contrast.
On the tube ring of the AR-90s/500 there is a GP dovetail for attaching to the mount.
