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 MC-127 telescope excels with high rigidity and tack-sharp optics. The 127mm aperture enables you to observe small bright nebulas, globular clusters, the moon, planets and a lot more in the depth of space. The high rigidity of the EXOS-2 mount allows for relaxed observations and is helpful for those making their first attempts at astrophotography.The telescope is perfect for observing the moon and the planets with high magnifications. The EXOS-2 mount with flexible shafts provides an optimal basis to make the observing as easy as possible.CHARACTERISTICS OPTICS Telescope for night and solar observation High-quality Maksutov-Cassegrain optics with high focal length and extremely sharp image Ideal for small bright nebulas, globular clusters, the moon, planets Optical design: Maksutov-Cassegrain Maximum recommended magnification: 254x Aperture: 127 mm Focal length: 1900 mm Aperture ratio: f/15 Optical coatings: Multi-Coating Universal 44 mm Dovetail plate with stainless steel rail (fits LXD75/Great Polaris/EQ5) CHARACTERISTICS MOUNT Stable parallactic mount with fine drive in both axes Ball bearings in both axes for more precise movements Stable height adjustable stainless steel tripod (min. 69 cm / max. 109,5 cm ) Load capacity up to 13 kg payload Retrofittable with the BRESSER Star Tracker Goto Kit (item no. 4951750) Circular bubble for easy horizontal alignment Pole height scale for setting the latitude Scaled graduated circular rings to facilitate finding objects using a star atlas or planetarium software Pole finder scope with optional illumination ( item no. 4964212 ) Tripod weight: 4.7 kg Mount weight: 5.6 kg (without counterweight) Total weight incl. counterweight: 14.8 kg Batteries: not included SCOPE OF DELIVERYMaksutov Optical Tube Assembly 26mm SuperPlössl eyepiece (31.7 mm / 1.25'')SC Eyepiece adapter (31.7 mm / 1.25'') Star diagonal mirrorDovetail plate for GP LevelLED viewfinderAdjustable polar finder scope with optional illuminationAperture solar-filterRotatable star mapSoftware Stellarium (via download)BRESSER EXOS-2 mount 1 x 4.5 kg counterweight Stainless steel tube field tripod with accessory tray

Ultra Light Dobsonian 254mm GENERATION II - with completely redesigned and improved construction.No telescope type has influenced amateur astronomy as radically as the dobsonian telescope. Before the introduction of this telescope type by John Dobson the vast majority of amateur telescopes were small inadequate refractors on shaky mounts - just good enough to show the polar regions on mars or the rings of Saturn. Bigger telescopes, like the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, were restricted to the relatively small group of amateurs that could afford them.The brilliant combination of simple - but effective - mechanics and the largest aperture available led to a worldwide triumph of this concept. No other telescope type offers you so much light for your money as a good dobson. We have taken the motto "held together by gravity and driven by yoghurt power" and offer a modern version of the classic - designed by amateur astronomers for amateur astronomers. Despite its large aperture the telescope can be transported easily even in small cars and is assembled within minutes without tools. The construction was optimized for maximum rigidity with a minimum of mass. The combination of big altitude wheels and a optimized aluminium-sandwich construction allows for small movements even at high magnifications. The focus position is already positioned to accept our coma-corrector. The ideal workhorse for the deep-sky enthusiast. A telescope with 254mm aperture gathers more than 1300-times more light than the naked eye. Details on planetary surfaces stand out even to unexperienced observers, and countless deep-sky objects show details. Bright globular clusters are resolved down to the core and the view of the lunar terminator will provide a unforgettable experience.Dimensions for mobile use: Rockerbox 395mmx395mmx310mm; Mirrorbox 330mmx330mmx295mm; Trusses approx.700mmEyepiece Height while pointing at zenith approximately 1,15m; 10“ Net total weight: 26,4 kg; 10“ Mirror Box: 14 kg; 10“ Secondary cage +Rockerbox: 9,7kg; 10“ 4 Pairs of trusses: 1,5kg; 10“ Altitude Wheels: 1,2kg ; Focuser thread: M54 x 0.75 mm. Backfocus: 45mm behind the 2" eyepiece holder. 35mm when the 1.25" adapter is mountedSPECIFICATIONS Truss-Dobsonian Telescope in full Aluminium constructionNEW: Slider bearings made from TEFLON und GFK for smooth and precise movementNEW: Improved main mirror cell with completely redesigned mechanicsNEW: Altitude bearings with new designed brake and friction systemNEW: Universal finder slot to enable an easy finder upgradeNEW: Quick-lock fasteners with new springloaded design for comfortable useNEW: Powder-coated yellow altitude wheels to improve durabilityNEW: Laser engraved central mark on main mirrorSCOPE OF DELIVERYTruss Dobsonian TelescopeLED finder with standard finder slotStray light shield for secondary cageMain mirror collimation toolBattery compartment with bag for fansExtension tube for focuserReducer 2"/1.25"Manual

If a observing session is a relaxing and joyful experience is heavily dependend on the choice of eyepieces. People wearing glasses very often have the problem to see the entire field of view when they are using eyepieces with large apparent fields. This problem is now history. The new 62°- LER eyepieces by Explore Scientific do not only offer excellent image sharpness and high resolution and contrast over the full field of view - you can see that full field without problems even with glasses on. Fatigue due to tense head positioning and strained viewing simply does not happen because of the excellent viewing comfort these eyepieces provide even to observers wearing glasses. Enjoy the unique combination of excellent image sharpness out to the edge of the field even for fast optics, superior contrast and unmatched viewing comfort. Eyepieces with perfect combinations of various modern glass substrates and highest standards in manufacturing, quality control and service are a tradition at Explore Scientific - the outstanding resolution and sharpness to the very edge.These eyepieces are the choice for observers wearing glasses - with excellent performance and durability. The rubber inlet and the foldable eyecups make handling and using in the field easy. The patentet EMD"-coating produces high contrast images and prevents reflexes and ghosting. The argon purging effectively prevents internal fogging, and you don´t have to deal with dirt, fungus or cleansing fluids getting between the lenses. The eyepieces are sealed - this makes sure you will be able to enjoy these eyepieces for many years to come.Eye relief: 28.mm

​The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Hybrid Finder Scope Base is designed to accept all legacy EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC and BRESSER Messier finder scope brackets and mini dovetail-type (e.g. Vixen, Synta, and many other brands) finder scope brackets. The base has rugged all-metal parts with black-anodized base and chrome-plated metal screws. Safety stops prevent the finder scope from sliding through and from falling when attaching screws are loosened. There are threaded holes on the left and right sides of the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Hybrid Finder Scope Base for desired access to attaching screws. Includes bolts and screws for mounting the base to the optical tube assembly. Direct replacement for all EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC and BRESSER Messier telescopes, allowing the use of a wide range of other-brand finder scope options.FEATURESDirect replacement for all EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC and BRESSER Messier telescopesAccepts all legacy EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC and BRESSER Messier finder scope bracketsAccepts also mini dovetail-type fittings from e.g. Vixen, Synta and many other manufacturersRugged all-metal parts with black-anodized baseIntegrated safety stopsIncludes bolts and screws for mounting the baseBolt hole spacing 32.5mm for mounting on telescope tubeSuitable for screw diameter M4/M5 SCOPE OF DELIEVERYHybrid Finder Scope BaseBolts and screws for mounting

The new Pirsch spotting scopes are especially for the price-conscious observer and hunter. Equipped with fully multi-coated, big 100mm optics, they make (even at difficult light conditions) high magnifications possible. In conjunction with the waterproof and non-reflective housing, they are a reliable tool for birding and hunting. They are also great for digiscoping: Using the #4914900 digital camera adapter, nearly every compact digital camera or compact camcorder can be used. FEATURESzoom spotting scopeangled viewingfully multi coatedvery high light gathering capacitywaterproof housingSCOPE OF DELIVERYspotting scopeready-to-use case
