Bresser Messier NT-150 N-150/1200 Dobson

The Bresser Messier N-150/1200 telescope is a marvel of precision engineering, designed primarily with beginner and intermediate astronomers in mind. This Newtonian reflector telescope is a versatile instrument suitable for observing both planets and deep-sky objects, and it has an added bonus—it's astrophotography-ready, thanks to its T2 thread.

At the heart of this telescope lies its main mirror, boasting a generous 150 mm diameter. This mirror is a light-gathering powerhouse, capable of capturing nearly 500 times more light than the human eye during your nocturnal cosmic adventures. It is expertly housed in an optical tube with a focal length of 1200 mm and a relatively fast f/8 aperture.

One distinctive feature of the Bresser Messier N-150/1200 is its striking white-painted aluminum tube, which is a signature characteristic of Bresser Messier products, lending it both durability and style.

This telescope comes mounted on a Dobson assembly (azimuth mount), renowned for its simplicity and cost-effectiveness, making it a perfect choice for visual observations. The assembly allows for manual adjustments in two axes: horizontal (azimuthal) and vertical (height).

However, a word of caution for users of closed-tube Newtonian reflectors like this one: they require temperature adaptation before commencing observations. Starting your stargazing adventure immediately after taking the telescope out from a warm room may result in distorted images due to convective air movements inside the tube.
