Bresser Messier MC-100/1400 EXOS-1 Maksutov Telescope with Mount

BRESSER MESSIER MC-100/1400 EXOS-1 TELESCOPE

As a rule, we do not have such good visibility conditions in our region - the ambient light (light pollution) and weather-related losses are the rule. Living in a city and watching from "balcony" is especially difficult. In the case of this device, the problems of so-called "seeing" are not so apparent due to the opening. A bigger one
Opening would have more difficulty delivering a calm picture. What use is more power through more opening, if the image blurs and the instrument can not show this performance? - Have I brought you to an important consideration? Then: Under the topic "advantages-disadvantages" - worth knowing for beginners and advanced -
on our home page smart, there is a lot of explanation!

This telescope lets you have a lot of success even under unfavorable conditions! A well-defined picture will bring you "closer to heaven". The best telescope is always where you look through the most and that gives you as often as possible beautiful experiences!

BRESSER Messier MC-100/1400 EXOS-1 Telescope
High stability and outstanding optics characterize the BRESSER Messier MC-100 telescope. The opening of 100 mm already allows you to observe smaller objects in the width of the universe. The high stability of the EXOS-1 mount allows very relaxed observations and supports first experiments in astrophotography.
This telescope is especially suitable for the Moon, planets and smaller planetary nebulae or globular clusters. Due to the high focal length can be achieved with high focal length eyepieces a high magnification. With the two flexible shafts of the EXOS-1 mount, objects can be tracked easily and comfortably manually.

A Maksutov is just perfect for the moon and planets. If you live in a polluted area and you do not have the opportunity to move to darker areas, you should definitely include this system in your considerations. If you can not see enough deep sky objects anyway, a telescope for the moon and planets (sun ONLY with a suitable filter) is considered. Even in light polluted areas, these objects will always be a worthwhile destination due to their brightness. Although bright deep sky objects are possible, the main focus will be on the moon and planets.

Enjoy beautiful lunar and detailed planet observations (like the rings of Saturn, moon shadow games on Jupiter or its big red spot) and also interesting deep-sky excursions to brighter objects, such as the Orion Nebula, the open binary star cluster (h and chi) in the Perseus or even the galaxy groups M81, not to mention the star cluster in the Hercules M 13!

Together with the bright and high-contrast image, here are beautiful details. Of course, the field of view is slightly smaller than short-range devices, but I do not need it on the moon and planets. Since the longer focal length is advantageous because you do not need additional Barlow lens for higher magnifications. This is used at very high magnifications, if the visibility conditions (low air movement, good transparency of the sky ...) allow it. (Bear in mind that every movement of air is magnified.) Since the moon reflects enough light, it will be used primarily to observe the craters and surface structures of our satellite.
