BRESSER Messier 6'' Planetary Dobson Telescope

NEW - now including a high-quality aperture Solar-filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night and solar observation.The BRESSER Messier 8'' dobsonian is simply a breakthrough. Despite of its low price this telesccope offers a versatility and quality rivaling a lot more expensive telecopes. The optical diameter of 203mm (8'') does not restrict your observations on solar system objects like the moon or the planets - you can reach farther into the sky and explore globular and open clusters, nebulae and galaxies. With that telescope those objects are beginning to show structures: globular clusters are no longer only fuzzy blobs, but are resolved into masses of individual stars. Nebulae, that can only be barely detected in smaller scopes, reveal structures within. The telescope is setting a new standard in versatility: the excellent Hexafoc focuser boosts a free diameter of 65mm (2,5'') so that you do not have vignetting in big widefield eyepieces that is caused by smaller focuser barrels. The big altitude wheels handle those big, heavy eyepieces without problems - and when you intend to load even more (like a binocular viewer with two eyepieces) then you can move the tube in its tube rings and achieve balance within seconds. The excellent rigidity of the focuser makes focusing a snap - even for astrophotography. This is another virtue of this highly versatile telescope system: you can remove the altitude wheels from the tube rings, attach a dovetail and use the optical tube on a equatorial mount for astrophotography - in minutes. The focuser is handling even heavy cameras tilt and shifting-free. You are extremely demanding in your image sharpness? No problem - with the optional 10:1 gear reduction sharp images are easy. If you consider, that the focuser is that part of the telescope that is used most often, you will recognize the quantum leap this Hexafoc represents in a telescope of this price range. With the included standard accessories (6x30 finder and 25mm SPL-eyepiece) the telescope is ready for observing. If you need to transport or store the telescope as compact as possible you will like this: the rocker box of the 8'' BRESSER Messier assembles and disassembles extremely easy and fast due to the use of metal standard furniture fasteners. So you can transform the bulky rocker box into a handy flat package of boards. This telescope is setting a new standard in usability, versatility and performance in its price class.Please note: Reflector telescopes with optical design Newton are very good for astronomical observing at the starry night sky. But these telescopes are not well usable for observing landscape and nature during daylight. Therefore we suggest BRESSER refractor (lens) telescopes for landscape and nature observing.

NEW - now including a high-quality lens solar filter for the safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planetary transits. A high quality telescope for night and solar observation.The BRESSER Messier 10 "Dobsonian is something very special. Despite the low price, it offers a variety of functions and quality that are sometimes unavailable in considerably more expensive telescopes. With its 254 mm diameter optics, this telescope is not limited to solar system observation of the Moon and brighter planets - you can also observe far out into the universe and see globular clusters, nebulae and galaxies. Details become visible in most deep-sky objects: globular clusters are broken down into individual stars and nebulae, which are only hinted at in smaller scopes, show considerable structure. This Dobsonian is unsurpassed in versatility within its price range: the excellent, large Hexafoc focuser has an opening of 65 mm - so even with large wide-field eyepieces, there is no noticeable vignetting from the eyepiece extension tube. The large elevation wheels also hold the telescope level with just the right amount of "sticktion", even when heavier eyepieces are used. And when a lot of heavier accessories are attached, such as the Bresser Binoviewer attachment, then the entire telescope tube can be moved within the tube rings - and everything is balanced again in a flash. The unsurpassed rigidity of the focuser makes it easy to focus - photography with this OTA is no problem either as the supplied extension tube for the focuser can be removed and a camera easily bought to a prime focus position. This is another strength of this universal telescope: if you want to take photos, you can simply unscrew the elevation wheels from the tube and place it on an equatorial mount with a standard dovetail rail - other rival Dobsonians do not offer this level of flexibility or pathway to more expansive astrophotography use. An optional dual speed 10:1 gear reduction for the focuser is available for those who need extra fine control of focus. If you consider that the focuser is the telescope part that is used most often, the supply of the Hexafoc on this telescope is a quantum leap for this price range.With the initial equipment you can observe immediately - a 6x30 viewfinder and a 25mm SPL eyepiece are included within the package.  If you want to transport the device as compactly as possible, it is easy with the new 10 "BRESSER Messier - the rocker box can be dismantled in a few simple steps, as the parts are assembled with metal quick-release connectors. A bulky rocker box quickly becomes a handy flat package of boards within a few minutes. This is a telescope whose versatility, performance and ease of use set new standards in this price range.Please note that while Newtonian type reflecting telescopes are very good for astronomical observations in the night sky, they not well-suited for observing nature and landscapes during the day. We therefore recommend BRESSER refracting or Cassegrain designs of telescopes for additional nature and landscape observations.PROPERTIESType: mirror telescopeMirror diameter: 254mm / focal length: 1270mm / F / 5Maximum useful magnification: 508 timesTelescope for night and solar observation2.5" HEXAFOC focuserMain mirror made of special glass, with low thermal expansionHassle-free focusing, even with heavy accessoriesEasy to move tubeDismountable rocker boxTube mounting on altitude bikes using clampsUse of the optics on other mounts as wellAdjustment and construction screws of different sizesBase diameter 54cmWhat's IncludedTube with Newtonian opticsFull aperture Solar filter6x30 viewfinder25mm Super Plössl eyepiece (Ø 31.7 mm / 1.25 ")1 extension tube 37.5mm for 2.5 " Hexafoc1 eyepiece adapter 1.25" to 2"/31.7 to 50.8 mm2 Tube Rings2 Altitude support wheelsRocker box with 2 base plates and mounting material (disassembled for self-assembly)Shipping dimensions Box1: 134x44x44cm - 19.0kgShipping dimensions Box2: 61x61x24cm - 17.0kg

NEW - now including a high-quality aperture Solar-filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night and solar observation. The BRESSER Messier 6'' dobsonian is simply a breakthrough. Despite of its low price this telesccope offers a versatility and quality rivaling a lot more expensive telecopes. Not only for beginners - also enthusiastic and experienced amateur astronomers love this high perfomance and compact telescope for traveling and to discover the night sky. The main goal of this telescope is the quick setup and the ease of use. Simply put the Messier 6'' Dobson telescope on a table in your backyard, point the telescope to your target object and you are ready to start your observation. The Messier 6'' Dobson is almost pre-assembled ex factory which means you can start within minutes. With the included standard accessories (LED-finder, 25mm and 9mm Kellner eyepieces and Moonfilter) the telescope is ready for observing. The inbuild compass and circular level speeds up the telescopes orientation. The optical diameter of 150mm (6'') does not restrict your observations on solar system objects like the moon or the planets - you can reach farther into the sky and explore globular and open clusters, nebulae and galaxies. Finding and observing is much easier with that light gathering richfield telescope. Bresser also has equipped these dobsonians with a high quality parabolic main mirror which offers a much better scharpness and contrast than other telescopes with a simple spherical main mirror. In addition, this telescope has a particularly large secondary mirror of 55mm in diametre for ideal illumination of the image field. The 6'' Dobsonian is also equipped with a large 2.0'' focuser, which allows the use of 2.0'' eyepieces with even larger fields of view. Due to the included eyepiece adapter 2'' to 1.25'', all 1.25'' eyepieces can of course be used. The optical tube can easily be moved inside the tube rings in order to find the optimal balance and observing position. This is another virtue of this highly versatile telescope system: Remove the optical tube from the dobsonian telescope mount and use the optics on a equatorial mount - in minutes. This telescope is setting a new standard in usability, versatility and performance in its price class.Please note: Reflector telescopes with optical design “Newton” are very good for astronomical observing at the starry night sky. But these telescopes are not well usable for observing landscape and nature during daylight. Therefore we suggest BRESSER refractor (lens) telescopes for landscape and nature observing.

Explore the beauties of the night sky with this complete telescope set. Everything is included so that you can get started immediately with the fascinating hobby of astronomy: the astronomical reflector telescope with 150 mm aperture and 1,400 mm focal length, the equatorial mount, the tripod and extensive accessories for exciting observations. Especially important for beginners: the system is very easy to use. Particularly the Moon, the planets and the Sun appear impressive through the Pollux-II. Powerful performance for your first celestial observations – the telescope Take your first steps in astronomy with this classic reflector telescope of the "Newton" type. Because it is equipped with an additional lens inside the focuser, it belongs to the group of the so-called "catadioptric" optics. One advantage of this combination of lens and mirror: despite the large focal length, the telescope tube is relatively short and therefore easily transportable. In addition, you can look forward to a comfortable observation position at all times. This is because with telescopes of this design you do not look in at the back of the telescope, but at the front and laterally. So you don't have to bend down, even if the reflector telescope is pointed vertically upwards at the sky. The large aperture of 150 mm collects a lot of light from the celestial objects. In addition, 150 mm aperture and 1,400 mm focal length result in a focal ratio (ratio of aperture to focal length) of 1 to 9.3 (F/9.3). This allows you to enjoy viewing your favourite objects at high magnifications with good contrast. Admire especially the planets or details on the Moon through the entry-level telescope. But also some deep sky objects are very nice to observe: open star clusters, globular clusters and bright planetary nebulae such as the Ring Nebula M57 in the constellation Lyra can be seen beautifully through this astronomical telescope. But how close can you get to the celestial eye-catchers? The 150 mm aperture achieves a resolving power that allows magnifications of up to 300x with sharp images. The technical possibilities go far beyond this – theoretically up to 1,050x using the included accessories. However, as the magnification increases, the sharpness of the image can slowly decrease. In addition, high magnification also requires the right environmental conditions. For no matter through which telescope you look, the air turbulence in the atmosphere (seeing conditions) always influences your observation and magnification possibilities. Note for nature lovers: If you choose a Newtonian telescope like the Pollux-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. Solid base for gazing skywards – mount and tripod Have you found the perfect location for your journey of discovery into the night sky? Then simply mount your astronomical telescope with the equatorial mount on the height-adjustable aluminium tripod. The special feature of this type of mount: after the so-called "alignment", the positioning of an axis parallel to the Earth's axis, the movement of the celestial bodies only has to be compensated for on this one axis. To do this, you simply point the axis approximately at Polaris. This is a huge advantage over the azimuthal mount, where both axes are moved simultaneously. In addition, the two flexible shafts with fine adjustment make adjusting and tracking the telescope very precise and comfortable. And to ensure that accessories are always at hand, they can be stored on the handy shelf 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 you need, night and day – the accessories The astronomical telescope comes with a wide range of equipment so that you can start admiring the Moon, planets or the Sun straight away. At night, the LED viewfinder helps you keep an overview of the sky. Once installed parallel on the tube and correctly aligned, the small red dot shows you where the telescope is pointing when you look through it. This way, you can align the optics precisely and find celestial bodies more quickly before you then take a closer look with the high magnification. Varying views of the universe: the two eyepieces allow you to marvel at your observation objects in different magnifications. They are simply inserted into the telescope's focuser using their sockets with a standardised 1.25 inch (31.7 mm) diameter. You want to see even more details? Then go for the 3x barlow lens, which triples the magnification of the eyepieces. If you would like to make astronomical discoveries even during the day, use the solar filter to observe the star of our own solar system. It allows you to easily and safely observe sunspots and granulation on the sun. CAUTION: Never point the telescope at the sun without the solar filter! Capture special highlights easily – with the smartphone adapter, you use your smartphone as a camera for your telescope. This way you can quickly take your first photos of the Moon or the Sun, for example, and get started in astrophotography.

Erkunden Sie die Schönheiten des Nachthimmels mit diesem kompletten Teleskop-Set auf eigene Faust. So ist für den einfachen Einstieg in das faszinierende Hobby Astronomie bereits alles enthalten: das astronomische Spiegelteleskop mit 150-mm-Öffnung und 1.400-mm-Brennweite, die äquatoriale Montierung, das Stativ und umfangreiches Zubehör für spannende Beobachtungen. Besonders wichtig für den Anfang: Das System ist sehr einfach zu bedienen. Vor allem der Mond, die Planeten und die Sonne geben durch das Pollux-II ein beeindruckendes Bild ab. Starke Leistung für erste Himmelsbeobachtungen – das Teleskop Gehen Sie Ihre ersten Schritte in der Astronomie mit diesem klassischen Spiegelteleskop der Bauart „Newton“. Weil sie zusätzlich mit einer Linse im Okularauszug ausgestattet wurde, handelt es sich um eine sogenannte „katadioptrische“ Optik. Ein Vorteil dieser Kombination aus Linse und Spiegel: Trotz großer Brennweite ist der Teleskop-Tubus relativ kurz und damit transportabel. Außerdem können Sie sich auf eine stets komfortable Beobachtungsposition freuen. Denn bei Teleskopen dieser Bauart schaut man nicht hinten am Ende hinein, sondern vorne an der Seite. So müssen Sie sich nicht bücken, selbst wenn das Spiegelteleskop senkrecht nach oben in den Himmel gerichtet ist. Die große Öffnung von 150 mm sammelt sehr viel Licht von den Himmelsobjekten. Zudem ergeben 150 mm Öffnung und 1.400 mm Brennweite ein Öffnungsverhältnis (Verhältnis der Öffnung zur Brennweite) von 1 zu 9,3 (F/9,3). Dadurch genießen Sie den Anblick Ihrer Lieblingsobjekte in hohen Vergrößerungen bei gutem Kontrast. Bewundern Sie durch das Einsteigerteleskop vor allem die Planeten oder Details auf dem Mond. Aber auch einige Deep-Sky-Objekte sind mit diesem Teleskop sehr schön zu beobachten: Offene Sternhaufen, Kugelsternhaufen und helle planetarische Nebel wie der Ringnebel M57 im Sternbild Leier können sich durch das astronomische Fernrohr buchstäblich sehen lassen. Doch wie nah kommen Sie mit dem Teleskop an die himmlischen Hingucker heran? Durch die Öffnung von 150 mm wird ein Auflösungsvermögen erreicht, das Vergrößerungen bis etwa 300-fach mit scharfen Bildern erlaubt. Die technischen Möglichkeiten gehen zwar weit darüber hinaus – mit dem enthaltenen Zubehör theoretisch bis zu 1.050-fach. Allerdings kann dann mit steigender Vergrößerung die Bildschärfe langsam abnehmen. Außerdem braucht eine hohe Vergrößerung auch die richtigen Umgebungsbedingungen. Denn egal durch welches Teleskop Sie schauen, die Luftunruhe in der Atmosphäre (Seeing-Bedingungen) beeinflusst stets Ihre Beobachtungs- und Vergrößerungsmöglichkeiten. Hinweis für Naturliebhaber: Wenn Sie sich für ein Newton-Teleskop wie das Pollux-II Spiegelteleskop entscheiden, können Sie sich auf einen Spezialisten für astronomische Beobachtung freuen. Das Bild wird allerdings stets seitenverkehrt sowie auf dem Kopf stehend abgebildet, was bei Himmelsbeobachtungen keinen Unterschied macht. Für Natur- und Landschaftsbeobachtungen am Tage ist diese Bauart deshalb allerdings weniger geeignet. Sie möchten Ihr neues Teleskop auch für spannende Naturentdeckungen nutzen? Dann empfehlen wir, dass Sie sich eins der BRESSER Linsenteleskope aussuchen. Stabile Basis für den Blick nach oben – Montierung und Stativ Für Ihre Entdeckungsreise am Nachthimmel ist der perfekte Standort gefunden? Dann montieren Sie Ihr astronomisches Fernrohr dort einfach mit der äquatoriale Montierung an dem höhenverstellbaren Aluminium-Stativ. Der Clou an diesem Montierungstyp: Nach der sogenannten „Einnordung“, der Ausrichtung einer Achse parallel zur Erdachse, muss die Bewegung der Himmelskörper nur noch an dieser einen Achse ausgeglichen werden. Dazu richten Sie die Achse einfach ungefähr auf den Polarstern. Ein Riesenvorteil gegenüber der azimutalen Montierung, bei der beide Achsen gleichzeitig bewegt werden. Über die zwei biegsamen Wellen mit Feintrieb gelingen die Einstellung und Nachführung des Teleskops zudem sehr feinfühlig und komfortabel. Und damit das Zubehör stets zur Hand ist, findet es auf der praktischen Ablageplatte zwischen den Stativbeinen seinen Platz. Alles dabei für Nacht und Tag – das Zubehör Das astronomische Fernrohr kommt mit einer umfangreichen Ausstattung, sodass Sie direkt mit dem Mond-, Planeten- oder Sonnebewundern starten können. In der Nacht behalten Sie durch den LED-Sucher den Überblick am Himmel. Denn einmal parallel auf dem Tubus installiert und richtig ausgerichtet, zeigt Ihnen der kleine rote Punkt beim Hindurchsehen, wo das Teleskop hinzeigt. So richten Sie die Optik durch den Peilsucher präzise aus und finden Himmelskörper schneller, bevor Sie dann mit der hohen Vergrößerung genauer hinschauen. Wechselnder Blick ins Weltall: Durch die beiden Okulare bestaunen Sie Ihre Beobachtungsobjekte in unterschiedlichen Vergrößerungen. Sie werden einfach an ihren Steckhülsen mit standardisiertem 31,7-mm-Durchmesser (1,25 Zoll) in den Okularauszug des Teleskops eingesteckt. Sie möchten noch mehr Details sehen? Dann greifen Sie zur 3-fach-Barlow-Linse, die die Vergrößerung der Okulare noch verdreifacht. Wer auch am Tag astronomische Entdeckungen machen möchte, beobachtet mit dem Sonnenfilter den Star unseres Sonnensystems. Nehmen Sie damit Sonnenflecken sowie Granulation auf der Sonne ganz einfach und sicher in den Blick. ACHTUNG: Niemals ohne den Sonnenfilter das Teleskop auf die Sonne ausrichten! Besondere Highlights ganz einfach festhalten – mit dem Smartphone-Adapter können Sie Ihr Smartphone als Kamera am Teleskop verwenden. So haben Sie schnell Ihre ersten Fotos beispielsweise vom Mond oder der Sonne im Kasten und den Einstieg in die Astrofotografie geschafft. Noch gar keine Erfahrungen mit astronomischen Teleskopen? Dann empfehlen wir für einen leichteren Start in das Hobby Astronomie das zusätzlich erhältliche Buch „Fernrohr-Führerschein“.
