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

NEW - now including 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, you can take moon photos with this equipment, and tracing the shadow and light line (terminator) on the moon is a pleasure. Ambitious beginners and advanced users observe with this planetary telescope the finest surface details on Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and our Earth's moon. 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 eye relief. The viewing 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.
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 robust steel tripod supports the optics offered up to a weight of 13 kg for visual observation stably and without wobbling.

Mount, tripod, and controller with computer.
This German equatorial mount is equipped with tracking motors on both axes, which can precisely track and position astronomical objects. The controller with GoTo function controls the mount accurately and reliably. Precision gears on both axes allow operation with minimal backlash at all nine possible speeds. The battery pack (12 V) is conveniently attached to the accessory tray and holds 8 "D" size batteries. The mount includes a solid steel tube tripod with high stability and supports optical tubes up to 13 kg in weight. The GoTo system makes sky observation easy at the touch of a button!
With the Bresser Startracker GoTo system, even an interested beginner can observe celestial objects in a few minutes that would be difficult or impossible to find without GoTo! Simply at the touch of a button, the GoTo system searches for planets, nebulae, or galaxies for you and positions your telescope automatically. The GoTo system's database has countless celestial objects ready for you. Observe celestial objects with a Messier series telescope with GoTo system without long searches, or photograph faint objects that you could not reach with classic search methods.
