Bresser MESSIER Dobson 8" Telescope: NT-203/1218

Discover the universe with the Bresser MESSIER Dobson 8" Telescope, a remarkable advancement in the realm of Dobsonian telescopes. Offering exceptional performance and quality at an affordable price, this telescope rivals many higher-priced models. With an impressive 8" (203 mm) aperture, it allows you to explore celestial bodies both within our Solar System and in distant galaxies. Its large diameter is perfect for distinguishing individual stars in clusters and revealing the intricate structures of nebulae, previously hidden from view.

The telescope is equipped with a high-quality 6" (65 mm) hexagonal focuser designed to prevent vignetting, even when using wide-angle eyepieces. This ensures a clear and uninterrupted view of the night sky.

The Messier 8 Telescope features large wheels on the height axis, allowing for smooth and precise movements, even when high-magnification wide-field eyepieces are used. If heavier accessories are added, you can easily balance the telescope by adjusting the tube's position with the loosened clamps.

Built with the well-regarded features of the third generation Messier telescopes, this model includes a rotatable hexagonal profile, collimation capability, adjustable travel force, and a single focusing system as standard. The focuser can be enhanced with 10:1 micrometers and is designed to accommodate larger and heavier accessories without any undesired displacement, ensuring optimal sharpness with ease.

For those who prefer equatorial mounts, the telescope offers the flexibility to disassemble the height axis wheels and attach a dovetail rail. With included accessories like the 6x30 finder and 25mm eyepiece, the telescope is ready for immediate use.

The telescope's dismountable assembly with metal connections allows for convenient storage and portability, making it an excellent choice for both home and field observations.
