Taking off to the stars from your own balcony – with this complete astronomy set that is easily done. The compact Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with 90 mm aperture and 1250 mm focal length fits everywhere. And thanks to the high contrast, you will be amazed by fascinating insights into outer space even while standing in the brightly lit city. Especially the Sun, Moon and planets look great through the high-quality optics of the beginner's telescope. The set includes everything you need for successful sky observation: an astronomical Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with 90 mm aperture and 1250 mm focal length, an equatorial EQ-3 mount, a tripod and extensive accessories. The system impresses with its simple operation, which makes life easier for astronomy beginners in particular. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the powerful telescope is also ideal as a travel telescope for more experienced stargazers. A great combination – the telescope The decisive advantage of the Maksutov-Cassegrain construction: the powerful optics have a long focal length, but can still be easily transported due to their very compact design. The recipe for success is the combined optics of mirrors and lenses with very good imaging properties. The 90 mm aperture admits a lot of light into the beginner's telescope and thus ensures a good resolution. In addition, 90 mm aperture and 1250 mm focal length result in an extremely large focal ratio (ratio of aperture to focal length) of 1 to 13.9 (F/13.9). The impressive result: a very sharp image with excellent contrast. Moon, Sun and planets – especially the celestial bodies in our immediate vicinity are more than worth a look through the BRESSER Messier MC-90/1250 Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope for beginners. But various deep-sky objects are also a sight to behold: go on a discovery tour through space and marvel at open star clusters, globular clusters and so-called planetary nebulae such as the fascinating Dumbbell Nebula M27. Thanks to the resolution of the 90 mm aperture, you can enjoy really sharp images at magnifications of up to about 180x. The technology allows more, but you have to reckon with blurriness at higher magnifications. In addition to your telescope, the air turbulence in the atmosphere (seeing conditions) also determines how much you can actually magnify. Your astronomy start is on a firm footing – mount and tripod The beginner's telescope comes with a height-adjustable aluminium tripod and an equatorial EQ-3 mount – the perfect basis for your exploration of the universe. The special feature of the equatorial mount: you only need to compensate for the movement of the celestial bodies on one axis instead of two. You simply align this axis parallel to the Earth's axis by pointing it approximately at the polar star – a procedure also known as "alignment". For sensitive and comfortable adjustment and tracking, the mount is also equipped with two flexible shafts with fine adjustment. Always ready to hand for every celestial highlight – to this end, your accessories will find their place on the storage plate between the tripod legs. Keep track of things automatically: For this telescope’s equatorial EQ-3 mount, the tracking motor with item number 4951400 is available as an optional accessory. This eliminates the need to manually track a celestial object set in the telescope. When this motor is installed at the mount, it automatically tracks the celestial object, keeping it in the field of view of the eyepiece. This makes observing the night sky even more comfortable! Everything for stunning stargazing – the accessories With the complete astronomy set, your observations will be under a lucky star. The LED viewfinder, which is easily mounted parallel to the telescope, allows you to keep an overview of the night sky. For this purpose, a red dot is projected onto a small ground-glass screen inside the viewfinder. This dot appears to be floating in front of the sky when you look through the viewfinder. And it does so exactly where the aperture of the telescope is pointing. Thus, precise alignment and finding celestial objects becomes super simple! The 26 mm Plössl eyepiece shows greatness in every respect: With it, you can enjoy 48x magnification with very good imaging properties on this telescope. Would you like to look even closer? Then extend your set with additional eyepieces. Because the socket diameter of 31.7 mm (1.25 inch) corresponds to an international and manufacturer-independent standard, you have a wide choice. A comfortable view into the beginner's telescope at all times – this is ensured by the built-in 90-degree star diagonal mirror. So you can look in from the side with ease, even if your telescope is pointing vertically upwards into the sky. It's not just the night sky that fascinates astronomers with beautiful views. Set out with the solar filter to explore our nearest star. Sunspots and granulation on the Sun are guaranteed to amaze you. ATTENTION: Never point the telescope at the Sun without the solar filter! What could be better than reliving unforgettable moments? With the smartphone adapter, the beginner's telescope becomes a giant lens for your mobile phone in no time. So you can easily capture and share your favourite moments with the Moon, Sun etc. FEATURES Entry-level Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with 90 mm aperture and 1250 mm focal length Very good for observing the Sun, Moon and planets Very compact dimensions, thus well suited for the balcony or as a travel telescope Height-adjustable tripod with equatorial EQ3 mount Precise adjustment through flexible shafts and fine adjustment in both axes Easy to use, good for beginners Focal ratio F/13.9, thus very sharp image and excellent contrast 26 mm eyepiece of the "Plössl" type with 31.7 mm (1.25 inch) socket for 48x magnification Safe solar observation with the included solar filter Entry into astrophotography with smartphone camera adapter SCOPE OF DELIVERY Telescope Aluminium tripod Equatorial EQ3 mount Eyepiece: 26 mm Plössl (1.25 inch socket) Built-in star diagonal mirror LED illuminated dot finder Solar filter Smartphone camera adapter Accessory tray Astronomy software download Instruction manual

Embark on a voyage of discovery through our solar system and beyond using the BRESSER Spica-II reflector telescope. You can start straight away with your new hobby, because this complete astronomy set already comes with everything you need for exciting observations: an astronomical reflector telescope with 130 mm aperture and 1000 mm focal length, an equatorial mount, a tripod and extensive accessories. Perfect for the astro-novice: the system is very easy to use. So look forward to fascinating sights especially of the Moon, the planets and the Sun. Perfect combination of mirror and lens – the telescope Using the Spica-II you’ll start your celestial exploration tour with a classic reflecting telescope of the "Newton" type with an additional lens inside the focuser. This combination of mirror and lens is called "catadioptric". It’s immediately noticeable with this type of telescope that you do not look in at the back, but at the front and laterally. What is the advantage? Even if the telescope is pointed vertically into the sky, you can observe the beauties of the night sky in a comfortable posture. In addition, catadioptric telescopes impress with their transportability, because despite the long focal length, the tube is comparatively short. With its 130 mm aperture, the Spica-II already collects a lot of light from celestial objects. In addition, 130 mm aperture and 1000 mm focal length result in a focal ratio (ratio of aperture to focal length) of 1 to 7.7 (F/7.7). This means you can enjoy an image with good contrast even at high magnifications. Thus, the telescope is well suited for observing the planets and details on the Moon. Even some deep sky objects are worth looking at through this entry-level telescope: admire open star clusters and globular clusters as well as bright so-called planetary nebulae such as the Ring Nebula M57 in the constellation Lyra. And how big will the nocturnal highlights appear? The 130 mm aperture achieves a resolution that allows magnifications of up to about 260x with sharp images. Technically, even more is possible – theoretically up to 750x with the included accessories. However, as the magnification increases, the sharpness of the image may slowly decrease. In addition, as is so often the case in astronomy, you are also dependent on the prevailing conditions. For example, the air turbulence in the atmosphere (seeing conditions) always plays a role in your magnification possibilities. Note for nature lovers: If you choose a Newtonian telescope like the Spica-II reflector telescope, you can look forward to a specialist in astronomical observation. However, the image is always displayed laterally reversed as well as upside down, which makes no difference when observing the sky. However, this type of telescope is less suitable for nature and landscape observation during the day. Would you like to use your new telescope for exciting nature discoveries as well? Then we recommend that you choose one of the BRESSER refractor telescopes. A good foundation for your astro-start – mount and tripod If you want to look up at the sky, you need a solid base on the ground. That's why you will find a robust height-adjustable aluminium tripod and an equatorial mount in your telescope set. The special advantage of this type of mount: unlike an azimuthal model, the movement of the celestial bodies is compensated for only on one axis instead of two. For this purpose, one axis of the equatorial mount is aligned parallel to the Earth's axis in the course of the so-called "alignment". This is easily done by pointing it approximately at Polaris. Perfect for convenient adjustment and tracking of the entry-level telescope: the axes can be moved precisely via the two flexible shafts with fine adjustment. And if you simply place smartphone adapter, eyepieces etc. on the convenient storage plate between the tripod legs, you will have the equipment you need quickly at hand.Keep track of things automatically: For this telescope’s equatorial EQ-3 mount, the tracking motor with item number 4951400 is available as an optional accessory. This eliminates the need to manually track a celestial object set in the telescope. When this motor is installed at the mount, it automatically tracks the celestial object, keeping it in the field of view of the eyepiece. This makes observing the night sky even more comfortable! Everything for the astro-beginner – the accessoriesFor your start into the wonderful world of astronomy, the Spica-II beginner's telescope comes with lots of accessories. The LED viewfinder, for example, is great for orientation in the night sky. You simply install the direction finder parallel to the actual telescope. It projects a red dot onto a small ground-glass screen that appears to float in front of the sky when you look through it. In this way, it shows you where the telescope is pointing. A great help for the exact alignment of the telescope and the easy location of celestial objects before you gaze at them with higher magnifications. You determine how detailed you observe your discoveries by using one of the two eyepieces, each of which provides a different magnification. They are fitted with standard 1.25-inch (31.7 mm) diameter sockets which allow them to be easily inserted into the eyepiece focuser of the entry-level telescope. Would you like to look even closer? Then grab the 3x barlow lens, which triples the magnification of the eyepieces in no time. Explore the astronomical highlight of the daytime sky: With the safe solar filter you can examine sunspots as well as granulation on the Sun. CAUTION: Never point the telescope at the Sun without the solar filter! There is also a suitable accessory for your first steps in astrophotography: with the smartphone adapter, you can use your mobile phone as a camera on the telescope.

The special feature of this beginner’s telescope: Due to the high contrast, you can start your journey to the stars wherever you like – even in the middle of a brightly lit city. And yet the extremely compact telescope takes up very little space on balconies, terraces and the like. The system is easy to handle and therefore perfect for beginners. The optics show especially the Moon and planets at their best. Ideal for all travel-loving amateur astronomers: due to its compact design, the telescope is also perfectly suitable as a travel telescope. Compact high-quality optics for beginners – the telescope Powerful optics with a long focal length in a very compact design for easy transport – that is what Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes offer. The design principle: The optics combine mirrors and lenses with very good imaging properties. With the 100 mm aperture, the BRESSER Messier MC-100/1400 already collects a lot of light and offers a good resolution. Due to the extremely large focal ratio of 1 to 14 (F/14), which results from the 100 mm aperture and the 1400 mm focal length, you enjoy a very sharp image with excellent contrast. This means that the telescope is an absolute specialist when it comes to exploring the Moon, Sun and planets. But you can also look forward to observing many deep-sky objects through your telescope for beginners. Admire open star clusters, globular clusters and so-called planetary nebulae such as the impressive Dumbbell Nebula M27. Really sharp images with up to 200x magnification – no problem thanks to the resolution of the 100 mm aperture! From a purely technical point of view, even more is possible in terms of magnification. However, increasing magnification often results in a loss of image sharpness. Moreover, the telescope is not the only factor when it comes to the question of how high you can magnify. The air turbulence in the atmosphere (seeing conditions) also plays an important role. Good foundation for your space exploration – mount and tripod While you enjoy the view of the sky, your Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope is perfectly mounted on the height-adjustable aluminium tripod with equatorial EQ-3 mount. The equatorial design has a decisive advantage: Unlike azimuthal models, you have to compensate for the movement of the celestial bodies on just one axis. To do this, you align this particular axis of the equatorial mount parallel to the Earth's axis by pointing it approximately at the polar star – also known as "alignment". Thanks to the two flexible shafts with fine adjustment, tracking and adjusting the telescope is extremely comfortable and precise. The storage plate between the tripod legs keeps your astronomy accessories ready for any exciting discovery.Keep track of things automatically: For this telescope’s equatorial EQ-3 mount, the tracking motor with item number 4951400 is available as an optional accessory.
