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 achromatic refractor AC 90/500 offers good light gathering performance due to its large aperture of 90mm. The focal length of 500mm ensures a particularly large field of view. The two properties allow very impressive widefield observations of open star clusters and the Milky Way. This instrument is not only interesting for the beginner, but also for the experienced observer. If, on the other hand, you mainly want to observe the Moon and planets, a lens with a longer focal length would be better, for example the AC 90/900.

Thanks to the extensive accessories included in the scope of delivery, you can use the telescope for sky observation immediately after unpacking. For land observation, you should still get an Amici prism.

The EQ-3: This equatorial mount provides the opportunity to precisely align scopes with Polaris. The correct pole height or geographical latitude can be set for each observation site. Thanks to fine movements along the right ascension and declination axes, objects can be precisely located, followed and kept within the visual field. A counterweight precisely balances the telescope.
The EQ-3 mount provides a solid base for most smaller and medium-sized scopes and is very well suited to spacewalks through the night sky. The tripod is extendible and a shelf provides space for eyepieces and other accessories.

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.
