Bresser MAK MC 127/1900 f/15 OTA Optical Tube

The Bresser MC-127/1900 is an optical tube featuring the Maksutov-Cassegrain system, boasting a 127 mm diameter and a focal length of 1900 mm.

This telescope serves as an excellent planetary observer, offering exceptional contrast when viewing bright and compact celestial objects such as the Moon and planets. Its design virtually eliminates chromatic aberration and is relatively insensitive to atmospheric instability. The MC-127/1900 is an ideal choice for those seeking a portable telescope with a wide range of observation capabilities, perfect for accompanying you on trips to dark rural skies. Furthermore, its compact size ensures it takes up minimal space in your car trunk.

The Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system is highly regarded for its versatility, ease of use, and mobility. Whether for astronomical observations, terrestrial views, or even aircraft spotting, this optical construction is an excellent choice. Its outstanding optics provide consistently sharp images across the entire field of view. The telescope comprises a meniscus correction plate, a primary mirror, and a secondary mirror positioned inside the meniscus. These features minimize coma and significantly reduce chromatic aberration, resulting in incredibly sharp and vivid images. One of the main advantages of Maksutov telescopes is their compact and lightweight design. With their long focal length and low light requirements, they are particularly well-suited for planetary observations. They also perform admirably in urban environments, where the focus is primarily on solar system objects rather than nebulae.

Additional Advantages:

Focusing:

The Bresser MC-127/1900 utilizes a micrometer screw to adjust the main mirror for focusing instead of an external sliding focuser. This method offers a broad range of sharpness adjustments, ensuring compatibility with various astronomical accessories and eliminating clearance issues associated with traditional focusers.

Compatibility with Photographic Tripods:

The telescope can be easily attached to any sturdy photographic tripod using a standard 1/4 inch thread. Moreover, the tube's foot is designed to be compatible with the standard "dovetail" mount of the Vixen/Sky-Watcher/Meade type.
