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 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
The GoTo system for the EXOS 2 from Bresser helps even beginners to observe celestial objects, which would be very difficult or impossible to find without GoTo, in just a few minutes. By simply pressing a button, the GoTo system slews the telescope to the planet, nebula or galaxy you have selected and tracks it fully automatically. The database contains over 100,000 objects. You can observe celestial objects with the Messier series GoTo telescope without long searches, or photograph faint objects that you would not even be able to find using classical location methods!
