BRESSER Messier AR-90s/500 EXOS-2/EQ-5

NEW – now including a high-quality aperture Solar-filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night and solar observation .

Excellent for entering into the hobby of astronomy: 90 mm aperture delivers 200 times more light than the naked eye! Observe craters, valleys and rims on the moon from nearly 400,000 km away just as you would look out of the window of a spaceship! 
The  BRESSER MESSIER AR-90s   with EXOS II EQ-Mount  does not only provide highly detailed views of the moon: Gaze at the division of the rings of Saturn millions of kilometers away or explore the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, a giant tornado in Jupiter's atmosphere. Watch the seasons on Mars and find the sickle of Venus.

Richfield telescope  with a short focal length of 500 mm.  Suitable for traveling  and to observe large open star clusters and the Milky Way.
 
The  MESSIER AR-90s  gives you images that are many times brighter than the instrument Galileo Galilei was using for his famous explorations almost 400 years ago. 

This telescope is an optical tube without mount and tripod.
