Bresser Telescope N 150/1200 Messier Hexafoc EXOS-2 (21520)

The Messier series by Bresser offers high-quality telescopes at an excellent price-performance ratio, making them ideal for ambitious beginners. These telescopes are designed to be expandable and retrofittable, ensuring they remain useful as users progress in their astronomy journey.

Bresser N 150/1200 Optics
The Bresser N 150/1200 features a 150 mm aperture, providing excellent rigidity and sharp optics. This aperture allows you to observe bright nebulae and deep-sky objects in remarkable detail. Explore the remnants of a massive stellar explosion from the year 1054 in the constellation Taurus, scan the glowing bands of the Great Orion Nebula, or detect the Whirlpool Galaxy in the Big Dipper. You can also find the Dumbbell Nebula in the constellation Vulpecula.

The telescope’s sturdy design ensures stable and relaxed observations, making it suitable for both visual use and astrophotography.

This model is equipped with the improved Hexafoc focuser, which has a free aperture of 65 mm. For astrophotography, the focuser can be upgraded with a 1:10 reduction ratio fine focuser (available as an accessory) for precise focusing adjustments.

Bresser EXOS-2 Mount
The EXOS-2 is a robust equatorial mount with a high load capacity of up to 13 kg for visual use and 10 kg for astrophotography. It provides precise tracking for both visual observations and astrophotography. The double radial ball bearings ensure smooth operation, while the optimized RA-axis minimizes play.

This durable and precisely engineered mount is an excellent choice for beginners interested in astrophotography. Additionally, a motorized two-axis control system can be added as an optional upgrade.
