BRESSER Messier AR-102L/1350 EXOS-2/EQ5

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.

Ambitious beginners and advanced observers alike will see the finest details of our Moon and Planets with the BRESSER Messier AR-102L telescope . Watch details on Mars like the white polar ice-cap, the Cassini division on the ring of Saturn or the great-red-spot on Jupiter. Scanning the lunar terminator is simply a pleasure. You will never give the BRESSER Messier AR-102L Telescope away voluntarily.

Because of the extra long focal length ratio F/13.2 this telescope offers incredible sharpness and contrast but extremly low color-aberration .

Mount and Tripod . The BRESSER Messier beginners series of telescopes. Within this series you find smaller optics mounted stable on the new BRESSER EXOS 1 mount. This combination means more value for money and puts an end to flimsy beginners scopes which discourage most of the beginners due to small, under engineered mounts. The EXOS 2 with a robust steel tripod bears optical tubes weighing up to 13kg stable for visual observation. The optional motor drive for the RA+DEC axis makes usage even more comfortable, so there is no need of manual tracking and the object is kept steadily in the field of view.
