BRESSER Messier MC-152/2250 Hexafoc EXOS-1 Telescope

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

The combination of compact optics and low weight characterizes the MESSIER MC-152 Hexafoc EXOS-II. The long focal length of the device allows for relaxed planetary observations at high magnifications, and the short length of the device makes it the ideal telescope for mobile use. The 152mm aperture allows you to observe small nebulae in the vastness of space. Find the remnants of a giant star explosion from the year 1054 in the constellation of Taurus or traverse the glowing filaments of the Great Orion Nebula. See the famous Pinwheel galaxy in the constellation of Ursa Major or find the Dumbbell Nebula in the constellation of Vulpecula. The stability of the device allows for very relaxed observations and supports early attempts at astrophotography.
