Bresser N 150/1200 Messier Hexafoc EXOS-2 GoTo Telescope

Bresser, a trusted name in traditional astronomy, presents the Messier series, offering telescopes for ambitious beginners with exceptional price-performance ratios. These telescopes are not just entry points but platforms for expansive exploration, as they are expandable and retrofittable.

The Bresser N 150/1200 telescope stands out for its robust construction and precise optics. With a 150mm aperture, it reveals the brilliance of distant nebulas. Explore the remnants of a massive stellar explosion in the constellation Taurus from the year 1054, or marvel at the luminous bands of the Great Orion Nebula. Discover celestial wonders like the Whirlpool Galaxy in Ursa Major or the Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula. Supported by a sturdy mount, this telescope facilitates relaxed observations and introduces enthusiasts to astrophotography.

The Bresser EXOS-2 mount is a formidable platform with high load-bearing capacity (up to 13 kg visual, 10 kg photographic) and precise tracking for visual observations and astrophotography. Equipped with double radial ball bearings for accuracy, its optimized RA-axis minimizes play, enabling seamless entry into astrophotography. Additionally, a motorized 2-axis control can be added.

The GoTo system for the EXOS 2 from Bresser revolutionizes celestial observation, especially for beginners. With a database of over 100,000 objects, it swiftly guides the telescope to your selected planet, nebula, or galaxy, tracking it automatically. This system eliminates the challenge of finding faint objects, making celestial observation effortless and enjoyable.

Now featuring the improved Hexafoc focuser with a 65mm free aperture, allowing for precise focus adjustments, especially beneficial for photography. Additionally, it can be retrofitted with a 1:10 reduction ratio fine focuser for enhanced precision (see 'Recommended Accessories').
