EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 82° Ar Eyepiece 4,7mm (1,25")
Explore Scientific 82° Series™ extreme wide field eyepieces are optimized to produce high contrast, high resolution, and superior flat field characteristics. The visual effect of these eyepieces with their long eye-relief and their 82° apparent field is truly a full-immersion experience. Your eye is relaxed, allowing you to easily use the "averted vision" technique to study faint details across a huge field-of-view. The 82° Series eyepieces come with a twist-up rubber eye-guard that raise to the desired height for the comfort of the observer, and as experienced astronomers know, eye comfort is critical when trying to observe at the visual limits of the telescope. To keep internal reflections to a minimum, all internal surfaces of the eyepiece barrel are flat black, as well as the edges of the lenses themselves to minimize the scattering of light within the lenses themselves. All 82° Series eyepieces are fully multi-coated and edge-blackened to produce maximum contrast.

EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 2" Variable Polarizing Filter
Universally usable variable polarizing filter with a  2" filter thread.This variable polarizing filter allows for a continuous adjustment of the image brightness. This is very helpful to level strong differences in contrast of different observation objects individually. Particularly for lunar and planetary observations but also for solar observations this filter prevents an outshining of details.Solar observations ONLY together with an adequate solar filter !!! Particularly when a Herschel wedge is used and with large objective lens apertures the use of the variable polarizing filter can reduce the brightness of the observation object to a confortable level. The large adjustment range of 40% to 1% light transmission and the neutral grey filter effect create a comfortable and unadulterated image.The handling is very simple. The desired filtering level is set by turning the two sides of the housing against each other.A 2.0" filter thread on both sides (female/male) allow for the simultaneous use of additional colour filters.FEATURESvariable polarizing filterindividually adjustable image brightnessmade from high-quality optical glassblack anodized aluminium housing2.0" filter thread on both sidesSCOPE OF DELIVERYpolarizing filterprotective box

EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 2" UHC Nebula Filter
One of the most important obstacles for the exploration of the night sky is the brightening of the night sky by artificial lights, such as streetlights. The night sky is not really dark in the vicinity of towns or cities, which reduces the visibility of objects beyond the solar system enormously. Depending on the type of the celestial object, it is possible to dramatically increase the contrast by blocking annoying artificial light. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC UHC filter "zeros in" on the wavelengths of so-called emission nebulae. Those objects glow in special colours - their emission lines. Those emission lines are linked to chemical elements - in this case hydrogen at 486nm and 656nm, plus oxygen at 496nm and 501nm. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC UHC nebula filter blocks all other colour wavelengths (and thereby nearly all of artificial light) and only the emission line of the hydrogen and oxygen can pass the filter. The result is astonishing: suddenly nebulae are visible at locations that were completely invisible from, without filters. In suburban skies, for example the Owl-nebula M97, the Veil-nebula NGC 6992 or even the bright Dumbell-nebula M27 are not clearly visible. Using this filter allows you to see nebulae and their structures in much finer detail. A must for every visual observer. The Explore Scientific nebula filters come with a individual test certificate - your guarantee to receive a premium filter.

EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 1.25" UHC Nebula Filter
One of the most important obstacles for the exploration of the night sky is the brightening of the night sky by artificial lights, such as streetlights. The night sky is not really dark in the vicinity of towns or cities, which reduces the visibility of objects beyond the solar systems enormously. Depending on the type of the celestial object it is possible to increase the contrast dramatically by blocking the annoying artificial light. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC UHC filter uses a characteristic property of the so called emission nebulae. Those objects glow in special colours, their emission lines. Those emission lines are linked to chemical elements - in this case hydrogen at 486nm and 656nm, plus oxygen at 496nm and 501nm. The Explore Scientific UHC nebula filter blocks all other colours (and thereby nearly all of the artificial light) and only the emission line of the hydrogen and oxygen can pass the filter. The result is astonishing: suddenly nebulae are visible at locations that were completely empty without filters. In suburban skies for example the Owl-nebula M97, the Veil-nebula NGC6992 or even the bright Dumbell-nebula M27 are not clearly visible. By using this filter you can see the nebulae and their structures without problems. A must for every visual observer. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC nebula filters come with a individual test certificate - your guarantee to receive a premium filter.FEATURESenables the observation of emission nebulaeblocks almost the entire artificial lightonly the two emission lines of hydrogen and oxygen passes the filterWHAT'S INCLUDED1x 1.25" UHC nebula filter

BRESSER USB Motor Focuser for HEX and R&P
The BRESSER USB Motor Focuser for HEX and R&P lets you achieve pinpoint focus on your telescope remotely and without any physical contact – whether you're enjoying a casual visual session or pushing the limits of astrophotography. The EAF works with hexagonal (HEX), rack-and-pinion (R&P) and most other standard focusers, connects in seconds via USB-C, and gives you the choice between manual control via the hand controller and fully automated focusing through your astro software of choice. Hands-off focusing via hand controller The included wired hand controller lets you dial in focus from a distance without laying a finger on the telescope. For astrophotography, this is a genuine game-changer: imaging sessions run uninterrupted and your focus stays locked in from first light to the end of the night. Visual observers will appreciate it just as much – precise focus adjustments on demand, no fumbling in the dark. Autofocus and broad software compatibility The EAF integrates smoothly with the most popular astro software packages. The ASCOM driver covers the vast majority of Windows-based applications, while full INDI and INDIGO support makes it equally at home on Mac and Linux. If your software includes an autofocus routine, the motor will handle everything automatically – a real asset for long, unattended imaging runs.Temperature sensor for sharp results all night long As the night progresses, temperature drops can cause the telescope tube and optics to contract slightly – enough to nudge your focus point off target. The included temperature sensor tracks these changes continuously and, paired with compatible software, compensates for any thermally induced focus shift on the fly. The result: consistently sharp images from dusk till dawn, with no manual intervention required.Please note: The temperature sensor and hand controller cannot be used at the same time. FEATURES Precise electronic motor focuser Plug and Play via USB-C Compatible with HEX, R&P and most standard focusers ASCOM, INDI and INDIGO driver support for maximum software compatibility Autofocus support via third-party software Manual focusing via hand controller Temperature sensor to compensate for thermally induced focus shift Robust aluminium housing SCOPE OF DELIVERY Electric motor focuser Mounting plates Wired hand controller Screws Washers Flexible couplings USB cable Temperature sensor Allen key Manual

Great telescope for night and solar observation.The MESSIER MCX-102 telescope is your own small observatory with GoTo computer control. Easy to operate, easy to transport and universally use.  Observe moon, planets, galaxies and nebulae through the proven BRESSER Maksutov-Cassegrain optics. The main features of this optics are a sharp and high-contrast image, as well as the very compact and sealed tube design. An all-round telescope for all fast spotting lovers ! Goto systems play an important role in the world of amateur astronomy as they ensure that users spend less time searching for celestrial objects and more time observing and photographing. The BRESSER Messier GoTo control, allows you to operate your telescope with the included computer handbox. After entering the basic data such as date, time and location, at least 1 known reference star is approached and confirmed. Afterwards, you can choose your favourite objects from the integrated database and let the MCX telescope move to and track them automatically. It couldn't be simpler! One of the outstanding features of the MCX telescopes is the very solid fork mount made of die-cast aluminium and the universal field tripod made of stainless steel. Both guarantee a safe stand and as little unwanted vibrations as possible during observation. In addition, the drives in both axes are equipped with precision ball bearings and precision worm gears made of steel and brass. This ensures smooth and quiet star tracking. Adapt your smartphone camera directly behind the SPL26mm eyepiece using the included smartphone holder or mount your camera on the M35 threaded connector and take astro photos of the moon and planets. The 90° flip mirror at the back of the telescope allows a quick and comfortable change between using an eyepiece or a camera.  You'll be amazed at what this MCX telescope can do with little effort.When it comes to tracking the stars with a telescope or camera, there is nothing comparable to the precision of a German equatorial or parallactic mount. It is important to follow the objects as precise as possible when they rise in the east and sink in the west. For observers it is very easy to keep their celestial object in the middle of the eyepiece for a longer time with a German equatorial/parallactic mount. This possibility of setup  (EQ mode) is already included in your new MCX telescope. The so-called polar wedge on the tripod head can be tilted accordingly and adjusted to the latitude of your location. You can therefore quickly switch between these two types of installation (AZ/EQ) - without having to buy extra accessories! Also a fast use of the MCX telescope without tripod only as a table device is possible !  This telescope combines so many good characteristics that the purchase is really worthwhile.

BRESSER Messier EXOS 100 GOTO Mount
The BRESSER Messier EXOS 100 GOTO Mount is a complete German equatorial mount for telescopes and cameras. As a GoTo mount, it automatically finds celestial objects and positions the telescope accordingly. It is controlled via a hand controller with display and keypad. With a payload capacity of up to 5 kg, it is suitable for both visual observations and astrophotography. Stable setup for telescope and camera A holder for Vixen-style dovetail plates securely accommodates telescopes or cameras. The stainless steel tripod with height-adjustable legs can be adapted to the respective observing site. A counterweight weighing 2 kg balances the weight of the telescope. A battery compartment for eight C batteries powers the mount independently of a fixed mains socket. Polar alignment made easy An integrated circular bubble level indicates the exact horizontal position of the tripod. An integrated polar finder tunnel enables rough alignment with the celestial north pole. The setting can then be further improved using fine adjustment screws for polar altitude and azimuth. For particularly accurate polar alignment, an optional polar finder scope (Art. No. 0456103) is available. This allows the GoTo function, tracking and astrophotography to work even more precisely. Automatic object search with the hand controller The display and keypad of the hand controller form the central control interface of the mount. For initialisation, you perform a star alignment with one, two or three stars. In doing so, you centre the suggested stars in the eyepiece and confirm the position. After successful alignment, more than 100,000 stored objects are available to choose from, which you can conveniently slew to at the touch of a button. These include planets, constellations as well as Messier, NGC, IC, Sh2 and SAO objects. You can also save your own celestial coordinates and slew to them precisely. Precise tracking for long nights of observation The tracking automatically keeps an object that has been slewed to in the field of view. You can choose between sidereal, solar and lunar rates to suit the respective observing target. Eight different slew speeds are available for manual positioning. A low-noise belt drive with worm gear moves both axes smoothly. Via synchronisation, the mount aligns the position of a known object with the database. The additional RA and DEC backlash compensation calibrates the gear backlash of both axes, ensuring even greater precision. Computer control via USB-C and ASCOM Via a USB-C interface, you can also connect the hand controller to a computer. This allows you to control the mount using ASCOM-compatible programs such as Stellarium or N.I.N.A.. With polar alignment, automatic object search and a stable setup, the mount covers the most important requirements for observation and astrophotography. As a compact GoTo mount, it reliably guides you to tens of thousands of celestial objects. Transform your telescope into a convenient GoTo system with the BRESSER Messier EXOS 100 GOTO Mount. FEATURES German equatorial mount with GoTo function Payload capacity up to 5 kg Control via hand controller with display and numeric keys Holder for Vixen-style dovetail plates 1-, 2- and 3-star alignment for initialisation Access to over 100,000 stored celestial objects Synchronisation and RA/DEC backlash compensation for greater accuracy 8 slew speeds as well as sidereal, solar and lunar rates Low-noise belt drive with worm gear Polar finder tunnel for rough alignment with the celestial north pole Polar finder scope for precise polar alignment available separately (Art.
