Bresser Telescope N 150/1200 Messier Hexafoc OTA (14197)

The MESSIER NT-150 is a telescope that excels with its high rigidity and sharp optics. Its 150 mm aperture allows you to observe bright nebulae deep in space. Explore the remnants of a massive stellar explosion from the year 1054 in the constellation Taurus or scan the glowing bands of the Great Orion Nebula. Discover the famous Whirlpool Galaxy in the Big Dipper or locate the Dumbbell Nebula in the constellation Vulpecula. The sturdy construction of this telescope ensures stable and relaxed observations, making it an excellent choice for those starting their journey into astrophotography.

This model is equipped with the improved Hexafoc focuser, which features a free aperture of 65 mm. For astrophotography purposes, it can be retrofitted with a 1:10 reduction ratio fine focuser (available as an accessory), allowing for more precise focus adjustments.
