The Bresser Messier NT-203 Newton and the focuser are checked and adjusted by us before delivery. These telescope is shipped free of charge in Germany.

All Newtonian telescopes should be adjusted before first use and then periodically for a clear image. We adjust all of our Newton before they leave our house.

How we adjust: About us

There are not only alternators in the car! :-)
Newton telescopes are considered (and are) basically high-powered telescopes. From f / 5 I define again as particularly bright. When observing the moon, we definitely recommend a filter to reduce the glare effect. - The moon reflects so much light that the light should be attenuated (especially at low magnification). Also note the dark adaptation of the eye. For example, if I want to observe deep sky objects after the moon, the adaptation of the eye takes a certain amount of time before I can perceive the much fainter ones again in detail.

And that brings us to the objects that such a Newton can show in abundance - visually and photographically!

Deep sky objects (ie galaxies, nebulae, star clusters ...) do not require a high magnification, but a corresponding light gathering power. For photography, this also means the shortest possible exposure time for a shot.
Planets (and moon) require a higher magnification and thus a Barlow lens for focal length extension. So with this device also beautiful details on the moon and planets can be seen! So you do not have to do without this field of application: An (almost) all-rounder among the telescopes focusing on deep sky.


Bresser Messier NT-203/1000 Hexafoc EXOS-2 / EQ5 Telescope

The MESSIER NT-203 allows observations that were not realizable just a few years ago in this price range. State-of-the-art manufacturing technology makes it possible to track the shadow of the Jupiter moons on the planet itself; the abundance of structures and details on the Jupiter surface are breathtaking. The NT-203 MESSIER can not only score points in planetary observation: Discover structures in distant galaxies and let yourself be fascinated by the fog of the emission nebula in the vastness of the Milky Way. See the remnants of exploded giant stars with the NT-203 MESSIER and observe the birthplaces of new stars. Let yourself be surprised by the beauties of the universe with this above-average device!
