Bresser Messier Maktutov 90/1250 EQ3 Maksutov telescope with mount

Bresser Messier Maktutov 90/1250 EQ3 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!

Basics: When buying an astronomical telescope, be careful not to save at the wrong end because of fewer euros! The valuable hobby of astronomy is too precious to "stifle" it already in the beginning by magelhaftes equipment. If the device combination "Wackelskram" and has (moreover) a poor image quality, you lose the desire to discover without it, which valuable experiences are possible even with small devices. The interest in astronomy combined with knowledge of physics and optics, which also promotes school knowledge, unfortunately shrinks proportionally with disappointment in observation. Therefore, we can only encourage you again and again to seek our expert advice before purchasing. Your wishes are important to us!
Please read our information under the heading "Advantages - Disadvantages - Interesting facts for beginners and advanced" and / or ask directly in personal contact.

For example, with this device, you have a combination of optics and durable (and low-vibration) mount. Focusing is not a painful procedure and the image of the object is sharp and detailed. The tracking of the astronomical object to compensate for the earth's rotation is sensitive and intuitive with the flexible waves. The joy of watching and discovering is not clouded here!
If you later want more and buy a larger device, this combination will not lose any value for you. As a travel telescope or device for "fast-licking" (if you only want to look a short time) or for large-scale objects, for which you can not enlarge so high anyway, it will always come back into use. Not to forget as a comfortable travel device. So a good long term investment that you will not regret, even if you increase your equipment.

Bresser Messier Maksutov 90/1250 EQ3 telescope:

As well as the slightly larger 100 mm, the 90 mm Maksutov already has a high focal length of 1250 mm which allows the observation of the moon and many planets. Due to the compact design, the telescope is ideal for use on the balcony.

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.

All telescopes in this series have an equatorial mount (also called a parallax mount). With this two-axis mechanics, it is possible to compensate for the earth's rotation and to follow the observed sky object exactly.
