NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Newton Telescope 130/650 EQ3

Who doesn't dream of exploring the beauties of the universe with their own eyes? This complete telescope set allows you to make your first celestial observations immediately and very easily. It contains everything you need for your new hobby: a reflector telescope with 130 mm aperture and 650 mm focal length, an equatorial mount, a tripod and extensive accessories for astronomical observations. The system is easy to operate and very flexible. You can look forward to fascinating views of the Moon and planets. Star clusters and gas nebulae also look impressive through the user-friendly entry-level telescope. Easy start with the astronomy all-rounder – the telescope The set includes a true classic among the reflector telescopes, a so-called Newtonian reflector. With this type of telescope, you look in at the front of the tube instead of at the back. The advantage: the observing position always remains comfortable, even when the telescope is pointed vertically upwards. In addition to observing comfort, reflectors also impress with their optical performance. After all, they are absolutely free of chromatic aberrations and thus offer good imaging properties. Due to its 130 mm aperture, the entry-level telescope already collects a lot of light from the celestial objects. In addition, there is the short focal ratio (ratio of the aperture to the focal length) of 1 to 5 (F/5), which derives from the 130 mm aperture and the 650 mm focal length. As a result, the fast beginner's telescope shows a bright image and enables high magnifications. You also benefit from the flexibility of this astronomical telescope: Admire the fascinating view of open and globular clusters such as M13 in the constellation Hercules at low to medium magnification. Or marvel at gas nebulae such as the famous Orion Nebula M42. At high magnifications, on the other hand, the entry-level telescope brings you closer to the impressive planets and exciting details on our Moon. How big do the astronomical eye-catchers appear? Due to the resolving power achieved with the aperture of 130 mm, the telescope shows you sharp images at magnifications up to about 260x. With the included accessories, you can already reach 195x. The technology allows even more, but the image sharpness can decrease at even higher magnifications. However, it is not only the telescope that determines how much you can magnify. It also depends on the air turbulence in the atmosphere (seeing conditions). Note for nature lovers: If you choose a Newtonian telescope like the Pegasus 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. User-friendly base – mount and tripod Found the perfect place for your celestial observations? Then you can start installing your astronomical telescope on the height-adjustable stainless steel tripod with equatorial mount. The advantage over azimuthal mounts: you only have to move along one axis instead of two. The reason is that you align the other one parallel to the earth's axis beforehand. This so-called "alignment" is very easy: you simply point the axis approximately at Polaris. In addition, the mount comes equipped with two flexible shafts with fine adjustment. Perfect for aligning and tracking the telescope particularly precisely and comfortably. Everything always within reach: on the practical storage plate, your accessories are quickly at hand if needed.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! Complete astro package to start stargazing immediately – the accessories The comprehensive astronomy accessories make it easier for you to get started and enable you to see your favourite celestial bodies from completely different perspectives. To align the telescope and find your way around the night sky you can mount the LED finder parallel to the telescope. The method is simple: a red dot is projected onto a small ground-glass screen inside the viewfinder. When you look through the dot appears to hover in front of the sky – exactly at the point where the entry-level telescope is pointed. This way, you can easily find astronomical objects through the illuminated dot finder and then marvel at them in detail using the high magnification of your telescope. Vary your view of the stars: with the two eyepieces (10 mm and 25 mm), you can admire your nocturnal observation objects in two different magnifications. They are simply inserted into the eyepiece focuser of the telescope via their 1.25-inch-sockets, which is a standard diameter. You want to look even closer? Then the included 3x barlow lens can triple the magnification of the eyepieces. Explore the night sky on your own through the versatile BRESSER Pegasus 130/650 EQ3 reflector telescope.

This reflecting telescope shows not only the big planets, but also bright deep-sky objects when you are observing under dark skies. Fully equipped, and with a mount that is easy to use, this telescope is ideal for a beginner that has no astronomical knowledge, but wants to immerse him or herself in space. Explore the moons and cloud bands of Jupiter or the majestic rings of Saturn, or find other galaxies, star clusters and nebula on a moonless night. 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 refractor (lens) telescopes for landscape and nature observing.

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.

​The BRESSER EQ-3 is a German equatorial telescope mount that can be used universally for light to medium-weight telescope tubes with a net weight of up to 5 kg.The only requirement for telescope tube mounting is a universal Vixen profile GP dovetail mounting bar - found on many commercially available telescope. This high-quality equatorial mount allows easy alignment to the celestial pole in no time and then allows tracking of all celestial objects manually with its single RA axis. Both RA and DEC axes come with manual slow motion control cables, for easy adjustment of your telescope's pointing.  Also included is a sturdy, yet lightweight, aluminium field tripod, which can be individually adjusted in leg height to give you perfect stability, even on rough ground. The included 1.5 kg counterweight is used to adjust the balance between the telescope tube and the mount.  Further counterweights can be supplied if needed. NOTE: If you want automatic Right Ascension tracking of celestial targets, this telescope mount can be equipped with the optional motor set Art. 4951400.FEATURESGerman equatorial telescope mountFor light to medium-weight telescope tubes of up to 5 kg net weightUniversal Vixen GP-style dovetail holderEasy polar alignment with adjustable altitude and azimuth axesAllows convenient tracking by slow motion right ascension axisWhat's IncludedBRESSER EQ-3 mountField tripodCounterweight 

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.In the past few years the BRESSER Newton telescopes have become the standard workhorse for Deep Sky astrophotography. We now proudly present the second generation of this telescope, the BRESSER NT-203s/800 with Hexafoc and fast parabolic main mirror. The Bresser NT-203s/800 f3.9 will deliver you deeper images due to its - compared to 8" f/5 systems - oversized primary mirror and therefore faster optical system with the same exposure time. The big 85 mm secondary prevents vignetting for optimal illumination The excellent 2,5" Hexafoc focuser also does not cause vignetting due to its large diameter and makes focussing a joy - the smoothness and shifting-free operation sets new standards in this price class. This groundbreaking focuser, tube rings with 44mm universal standard dovetail and camera mounting feature and a high-end finderscope with haircross and laser-engraved scale  leave nothing to desire even for demanding astrophotographers. The NT-203s/800 Hexafoc has a classical tube construction with an aluminium tube. The focuser can be upgraded with a 10:1 reduction (part No. 0625720) without problems. Also prepared for use with the HR Coma Corrector (part No. 0510330) which eliminates coma, field-curvature and astigmatism. 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 rigid stainless steel tripod and can take optical tubes of up to 13 kg. GOTO Stargazing at the push of a button !
