Product description

More about the series Messier...

The traditional company Bresser offers telescopes for ambitious beginners at an excellent price-performance ratio under the name Messier. The Messier telescope systems are expandable and retrofittable, so they can be used far beyond the initial entry point.

The optic Bresser AC 127:
For the price-sensitive planetary observer the AC 127 is a dream machine. View tiny dots and structures in the cloud bands of Jupiter, small rims and craters on the surface of the moon and details on Mars, including the ice-covered polar regions of our neighbouring planet. Watch Jupiter's moons dance around the planet and detect the greenish glow of Uranus far beyond Saturns orbit. The combination of large aperture and long focal length provides tack-sharp high-contrast pictures that will impress you every time anew.

New - with immediate effect, this telescope comes with the new improved Hexafoc focuser. This focuser has a free aperture of 65mm! For photographic use in particular, it can be retrofitted with a 1:10 reduction ratio fine focuser (see 'Recommended Accessories'). This allows more precise focus adjustment.

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.
  • We also provide an edition of the exciting astronomy magazine, “Sterne und Weltraum” with each telescope.

Our expert comment:

This achromatic is a test winner at the 'BBC Sky at night'. The optical performance of the refractor is extremely impressive. It has excellent image definition with high contrast right up to the edge of the field of view. I have tested this refractor itself. It is indeed a fine telescope!

Customer reviews

High quality telescope, fair price

Review by Balen on 17.10.2014 10:02:59

( 5 / 5 )

I bought this OTA from Bresser, I must say I was impressed at the quality and built of this beautiful telescope. While I haven't been able to point it into the sky and actually check it's optical clarity and performance during the night time, I managed to do so in the day observation of nature, fantastic clarity and performance. This is a huge telescope and require a steady, stable mount. That's why I also bought Bresser EXOS-2 mount. Unfortunately the guys here sent me a mount with a major flaw, I am waiting to see how they can help out to fix it.

Usually telescopes are sold with poor quality diagonal mirror and only one eyepiece. The diagonal mirror of this scope is of high quality, although the body seems to be made out of plastic. However, it contains a thick, coated, high quality mirror. The eyepiece is a 26mm, really high quality, but of course it is not enough to bring out the real power of this scope. All in all, it's an amazing scope with an amazing design.
