Product information "BRESSER Messier AR-102xs/460 EXOS-2/EQ5 Goto"
Ambitious beginners and advanced observers alike will see the brightest objects outside our solar system with the MESSIER AR-102xs. Watch details in the Great Orion Nebula from the astonishing distance of 1500 lightyears (14.200.000.000.000 km)! Scanning the lunar terminator is simply a pleasure. Scanning the Milky Way in Saggitarius shows a multitude of deep-sky objects.
Richfield telescope with ED glass lens and a short focal length of 460mm. Suitable for traveling and to observe large open star clusterns and the milky way
BRESSER EXOS-2 GoTo Equatorial Mount. Mount, tripod and hand box with computer. This German mount has tracking motors in both axes that follow celestial objects very precisely.
The handbox with GoTo works reliable and controls the mount in every situation.
Precise ball bearings in both axes ensures minimal backlash at all nine possible tracking speeds. The battery pack (12 V) is conveniently fastened to the tripod shelf and takes eight size "D" batteries. The mount rests on a very tough and stainless steel tripod and can take optical tubes of up to 13 kg. GOTO Stargazing at the push of a button! The Startracker GoTo System enables beginners to start astronomical observations in just a few minutes, and guides you to objects that are hard to localize through a standard finder scope.
Just push the button and the GoTo System will find planets, nebulae or galaxies for you and position your telescope automatically and precise. The GoTo System database includes thousands of astronomical objects.
The Messier mount with GoTo System allows you to observe without tedious searching, or image faint objects that are hard to find in a standard finder scope.
