Easy to operate, easy to transport and universally applicable.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nObserve the \u003cb\u003eMoon, planets, galaxies, and nebulae\u003c\/b\u003e through the \u003cb\u003eBRESSER Maksutov-Cassegrain optics, which have proven their effectiveness\u003c\/b\u003e over the years. The main characteristics of this optical system are a sharp image with high contrast, as well as its very compact and closed construction. \u003cb\u003eA universal telescope for those who enjoy quick observations!\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGoTo systems\u003c\/b\u003e are important for astronomy enthusiasts, as they ensure that users spend \u003cb\u003eless time searching\u003c\/b\u003e for specific objects and \u003cb\u003emore time observing and photographing\u003c\/b\u003e. The \u003cb\u003eBRESSER Messier GoTo control system\u003c\/b\u003e allows you to operate the telescope with the \u003cb\u003eincluded computerized hand controller\u003c\/b\u003e. After entering basic data such as date, time, and location, it approaches at least 1 known reference star and confirms. Then, you can select the desired objects from \u003cb\u003eseveral thousand objects integrated into the database\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ethe MCX telescope can locate and track them. It couldn't be easier!\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOne of the outstanding features of MCX telescopes is the \u003cb\u003every sturdy aluminum fork mount\u003c\/b\u003e and the \u003cb\u003euniversal stainless steel field tripod\u003c\/b\u003e. Both ensure secure support and minimize unwanted vibrations during observation. In addition, the drives on both axes are equipped with \u003cb\u003eprecision ball bearings and precise steel\/brass worm gears\u003c\/b\u003e. This results in \u003cb\u003esmooth and quiet star tracking.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWith the \u003cb\u003eincluded smartphone adapter\u003c\/b\u003e, you can attach your smartphone camera directly behind the SPL26mm eyepiece or mount your camera on the M35 thread connection and take \u003cb\u003eastronomical photos of the Moon and planets\u003c\/b\u003e. You'll be amazed at what this MCX microscope is capable of with little effort. The \u003cb\u003e90° flip mirror\u003c\/b\u003e at the rear of the telescope allows you to quickly and conveniently switch between using an \u003cb\u003eeyepiece or a camera.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTo track stars with a telescope or camera, nothing compares to the precision of a German equatorial or parallactic mount. This involves tracking objects as accurately as possible as they rise in the east and set in the west. For users, with a German equatorial\/parallactic mount, it is very easy to keep the celestial object in the center of the eyepiece for longer. \u003cb\u003eThis setup option (EQ mode) is already included in the new MCX telescope.\u003c\/b\u003e For this, the \u003cb\u003epolar wedge\u003c\/b\u003e on the tripod head can be tilted appropriately and adjusted to your location's latitude. Therefore, you can quickly switch between these two \u003cb\u003esetup types (AZ\/EQ) without having to purchase additional accessories!\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\nOf course, \u003cb\u003equick use of the MCX telescope without a tripod, just as a tabletop device, is also possible!\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThis telescope combines so many advantages that its acquisition is truly worthwhile.
