Bresser Telescope AC 102/600 Messier AR-102S Hexafoc Nano AZ (64992)

The Messier series by Bresser is designed for ambitious beginners, offering excellent performance at an affordable price. These telescopes are expandable and retrofittable, allowing them to grow with the user's skills and interests, making them suitable for long-term use.

AC 102/600 Optics:
This telescope is perfect for observing bright DeepSky objects with large angular diameters. It enables users to explore structures in the Orion Nebula, located an impressive 1,500 light-years away. Observing the Moon is equally enjoyable with this instrument.

Its compact design and lightweight construction make it an ideal match for a lightweight azimuth mount, creating a portable and versatile universal instrument.

The telescope now includes the upgraded Hexafoc focuser, featuring a free aperture of 65mm. This improvement is particularly beneficial for astrophotography. For more precise focus adjustments, the focuser can be retrofitted with a 1:10 reduction ratio fine focuser (available as an accessory).

Nano AZ Mount:
The single-arm Nano AZ mount is quick to set up and simple to operate, functioning similarly to a photo tripod. It supports telescopes weighing up to 3.5 kg and is compatible with all telescopes that use Vixen-standard prism rails.

The mount is paired with a stainless-steel tripod, providing excellent stability during observations.
