Bresser Maksutov telescope MC 102/1470 MCX Messier EQ/AZ GoTo (62753)

The MCX series telescopes are designed for portability and quick setup, making them ideal for both beginners and experienced users. The electronic GoTo control allows even novice astronomers to locate celestial objects with ease.

A key feature of the MCX telescopes is their durable construction. The solid aluminum fork mount and stainless-steel tripod provide excellent stability, minimizing vibrations during observations. Additionally, the drives in both axes are equipped with precision ball bearings and steel/brass worm gears, ensuring smooth and quiet star tracking.

Additional Features:

• Hand controller with a large illuminated display

• Sturdy stainless-steel tripod with a polar wedge: supports azimuthal mode for visual observation and equatorial mode for astrophotography

• Can also be used as a tabletop unit without the tripod

Maksutov Telescopes

Maksutov telescopes are compact and portable, making them perfect for travel. Their enclosed optics and collimation stability ensure durability and reliability.

These telescopes offer a long focal length despite their small size, though their field of view is narrower compared to achromatic refractors. This makes them excellent for observing the Moon and planets. When paired with an Amici prism, they are also ideal for nature observation and photography.
