BRESSER Messier AR-90s/500 Telescope with EXOS-2 GOTO Mount

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

Excellent for getting started in astronomy: a 90mm aperture provides about 200 times more light than the naked eye!
Observe craters, valleys, and ridges on the moon almost 400,000 km away as if you were very close! The BRESSER MESSIER AR-90s with GoTo EXOS II Mount offers you detailed images not only of the moon: examine the division of Saturn's rings millions of kilometers away or discover Jupiter's "Great Red Spot," a massive storm in its atmosphere. Follow the seasons on Mars and recognize the crescent of Venus.

But also as a compact travel equipment the AR-90s is very useful. Thanks to the short focal length of only 500 mm, impressive wide-field observations of open star clusters and the Milky Way can be made.

The MESSIER AR-90s already collects many times more light compared to the device with which Galileo Galilei made his famous discoveries almost four hundred years ago.
The fixed dew shield reduces possible dew formation and prevents stray light from entering from the side, further increasing image contrast.
On the tube clamp of the AR-90s/500 there is a GP dovetail for attaching it to the mount.
