July 6 2023, Marcus Schenk

Have you always dreamed of discovering for yourself the Moon, the planets and even nebula? With your own telescope? Then we have the perfect opportunity for you! For July only, we are offering exclusive discounts on our Omegon EQ telescopes for beginners.

You can easily track objects in the sky with these telescopes, thanks to their equatorial mounts, allowing you to enjoy amazing observations.

These telescopes offer you images that you could never see with the naked eye alone. And best of all: you can now save up to 20% on telescopes from the Omegon Basic series.

Choose from a selection of telescopes on different mounts, such as the EQ-1, EQ-2, EQ-3 or EQ-4. These models vary in price and the stability they offer.

Visit our website now and secure your first beginners’ telescope. This promotion only applies until 31 July 2023. So grab yourself a bargain now!

Telescopes from Bresser’s Messier range

September 19 2022, Stefan Taube

The manufacturer Bresser offers a rich variety of telescopes for hobby astronomers in their Messier range. Options range from economically-priced entry-level models through to telescopes which make all of your wishes come true.

Large selection of scopes and mounts:

Within the Messier range, you can find optical telescopes, Newtonian telescopes and compact Maksutov scopes. The latter are very good for travelling and are designed for planetary and lunar observations.

These telescopes are equipped with a rail to attach them to astronomical mounts. As these rails conform to the Vixen style, the telescopes can be used with almost every mount.
For the Messier range, Bresser has developed both the EXOS-1 and the EXOS-2 mounts. They are adapted for these scopes. The mounts can be purchased with or without a motor. If you want a reasonably-priced entry-level model, you can leave the motor out. You can always add one later. Motors are especially necessary for astrophotography. You can find upgrade sets here in our shop.

The EXOS-2 mount is also available with computerised controls (GoTo).

Ideal for beginners: Dobsonian telescopes

Within the Messier range, Bresser also offers a range of Dobsonian telescopes. The larger models feature altitude bearings which provide high levels of stability in all positions. Thanks to the OTA brackets, the tubes on these Dobsonian telescopes can also be placed on other mounts.

Dobsonian telescopes are ideal for optical use and are very reasonably priced.

All telescopes come with a suitable solar filter which is placed on the front end of the telescope. This makes it possible to safely observe the Sun.

All telescopes from Bresser’s Messier range can be found  here in our shop.
