BRESSER Messier AR-102L/1350 Telescope with EXOS-2/EQ5 Mount

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

Thanks to the high-quality mechanics of the BRESSER Messier AR-102L, it is already possible to take moon photos with this equipment, and traversing the shadow and light line (terminator) on the moon is a pleasure. Ambitious beginners and advanced users observe the finest surface details on Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and our Earth's moon with this planetary telescope. Discover cloud structures and the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, the icy polar cap of Mars, or even the Cassini Division in Saturn's rings.

Thanks to the particularly long focal length setting of f/13.2, this telescope is especially suitable for planetary observation. High magnifications can also be achieved with affordable eyepieces that still offer a reasonable distance between the eye and the eyepiece. Observing comfort is, therefore, significantly better than with short focal length refractors.

In addition, these special refractor telescopes not only offer very high color purity and sharpness but also a plastic or even three-dimensional image of the planets.

You will never want to put down the BRESSER Messier AR-102L.

EXOS-2 Mount and Tripod.
The beginner segment of the BRESSER Messier series. Smaller optics are stably mounted on the BRESSER EXOS-2. Gone are the days when price-conscious customers struggled to get into astronomy due to undersized mounts. The EXOS-2 with its sturdy steel tripod stably and wobble-free supports the optics offered up to a weight of 13 kg for visual observation. For greater comfort during observation, the mount can be upgraded with a motor kit for the RA and DEC axes. This way, you will always have the celestial object in the eyepiece without having to manually track the stars.
