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 AC 102/1350 optics: This achromatic refractor has a particularly long focal length and is thus reminiscent of the first large refracting telescopes in the history of astronomy. The optics combine the sharp imaging performance of this type of telescope with high magnification. Observing the Moon and planets is a great pleasure! And double stars can also be separated crisply.
The aperture ratio of f/13 has a positive effect on the colour error that is unavoidable with lens telescopes. Refractors with shorter focal lengths are at a distinct disadvantage here. It is only through the use of special glass combinations that even short focal length refractors can correct the colour error. But such so-called apochromats are much more expensive than this achromatic refractor.
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.
The mounting Bresser EXOS-2:
The EXOS-2 is a robust mounting with high bearing capacity (up to 13 kg visual, 10 kg photographic) and precise setpoint tracing for visual watchings and for astro-photography.
Double radical rill-bearings make the function precise and the optimated RA-axes don´t let much play. Further, the very robust, precise worked mounting allows an easy entrance in astro-photography. A motorical 2-axes control can be added.
includes:
- robust mounting
- agreed counter weight
- robust 3-leg tripod made of steel
