Bresser Messier MC-152/1900 Hexafoc EXOS-2 Maksutov Telescope with Mount

BRESSER MESSIER MC-152/1900 HEXAFOC EXOS-2

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!

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.


BRESSER Messier MC-152/1900 Hexafoc EXOS-2
The combination of compact optics and high stability distinguishes the MESSIER MC-150 Hexafoc EXOS-II. The long focal length of the device allows relaxed planetary observations at high magnifications, the short length of the device makes it the ideal telescope for mobile use. The opening of 150mm already allows you to observe smaller nebulas in the vastness of space. Find the remains of a gigantic stellar explosion from the year 1054 in the constellation of Taurus or drive off the glowing filaments of the Great Orion Nebula. You can see the famous Feuerrad galaxy in the constellation Big Dipper or find the dumbbell nebula in the constellation Füchschen. The high stability of the device allows very relaxed observations and supports initial experiments in astrophotography.
