Bresser Telescope AC 152/1200 Messier Hexafoc OTA (20908)

For the ambitious planetary observer, this telescope offers exceptional performance. It allows you to observe fine details such as tiny dots and structures in Jupiter's cloud bands, small rims and craters on the Moon's surface, and even features on Mars, including its ice-covered polar regions. Witness the mesmerizing dance of Jupiter's moons and detect the greenish glow of Uranus far beyond Saturn's orbit. The combination of a large aperture and long focal length ensures tack-sharp, high-contrast images that will amaze you every time.

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

The traditional company Bresser offers telescopes under the Messier brand, providing an excellent price-performance ratio for ambitious beginners. These Messier telescope systems are expandable and retrofittable, making them suitable for use well beyond the initial entry point.
