Bresser Maksutov telescope MC 127/1900 EQ-3 Space Explorer

Maksutov telescopes boast remarkable compactness, making them ideal for on-the-go use and travel. Their enclosed optics and robust collimation stability ensure durability.

Despite their compact design, Maksutov telescopes feature a notably long focal length. However, their field of view is narrower compared to achromatic refractor telescopes. This unique blend makes Maksutov telescopes exceptional instruments for observing the Moon and planets. Furthermore, when paired with an Amici prism, they excel in nature observation and photography.

The EQ-3 mount offers precise alignment capabilities with Polaris, allowing for accurate adjustments tailored to each observation site's pole height or geographical latitude. Fine movements along the right ascension and declination axes enable precise tracking and retention of celestial objects within the visual field. A counterweight ensures optimal balance for the telescope.

Sturdy and versatile, the EQ-3 mount provides a solid foundation for most smaller and medium-sized scopes, making it well-suited for celestial explorations. Its extendable tripod features a convenient shelf for storing eyepieces and other accessories.
