Sky Guides von Bresser
Ambitious beginners and advanced observers alike will see the brightest objects outside our solar system with the Messier AR-102. Watch details in the Great Orion Nebula from the astonishing distance of 1500 lightyears (14.200.000.000.000 km)! The rock-solid mount provides relaxed views even at high magnifications; rigidity and usability are setting new standards in this price range. Due to the sophisticated mount you can even start taking pictures of the moon with this telescope; scanning the lunar terminator is simply a pleasure. You will never give the BRESSER Messier AR-102S away voluntarily.
