BRESSER Messier 8'' Dobson Telescope

The Bresser Messier 8'' dobsonian is simply a breakthrough. Despite the low price, this telescope offers versatility and quality that rivals many more expensively priced telescopes. The 203mm (8'') optical diameter does not limit your observations of solar system objects, such as the moon or planets - you can reach further into the sky and explore globular and open clusters, nebulae and galaxies. With this telescope, structures of these objects are beginning to be shown: globular clusters are no longer just diffuse spots, but masses of individual stars. Nebulae, which can barely be detected with smaller telescopes, reveal internal structures. This telescope is setting a new standard for versatility: the excellent Hexafoc focusing mechanism powers the 65mm (2.5'') free diameter so you won't have vignetting in large widefield eyepieces, caused by smaller barrel focuses. . The large altitude wheels easily handle the large, heavy eyepieces - and when you intend to put more weight on (like a binocular scope with two eyepieces), then you can move the tube on its rings and achieve balance in a matter of seconds. The excellent rigidity of the focusing mechanism makes focusing a snap - even for astrophotography. This is another virtue of this versatile telescope: you can remove the height wheels from the tube rings, attach some dovetails and use the optical tube on an equatorial mount for astrophotography - in a matter of minutes. The focus handles even heavy tilting and free-rolling cameras. Are you very demanding with the sharpness of your image? No problem - with the optional 10:1 reduction gear, getting sharp images is a breeze. When you consider that the focusing mechanism is the most frequently used part of the telescope, you will recognize the qualitative leap that the Hexafoc represents compared to other telescopes within this price range.
With the standard accessories included (6x30 finderscope and 25mm SPL eyepiece) the telescope is ready to carry out your observations.
If you need to transport or store the telescope in the most compact way possible that you want: the Bresser Messier 8'' case is easily and quickly assembled and disassembled due to the use of standard furniture metal fixings. So you can transform the box into a practical flat packaging like a board.
This telescope is setting a new standard in ease of use, versatility and performance in its price range.
