Ambitious beginners and advanced astronomers will already find the brightest objects outside the solar system with this instrument. Discover structures in the Orion Nebula at the incredible distance of 1500 light years (14,200,000,000 km)! Tracing the light-dark boundary (terminator) at the Moon is a delight. You will never want to give the MESSIER AR-102xs away again.

As a compact travel instrument, the MESSIER AR-102xs performs very well. Especially the very short focal length of only 460mm, allows impressive wide field observations of open star clusters and the Milky Way. Only by using ED special glasses, we could realize this very fast instrument. It offers an extraordinary high image quality with only a very small color error at an attractive price.

EXOS-2 mount and tripod. The entry-level segment of the BRESSER Messier series. The smaller optics are stably mounted on the BRESSER EXOS-2. Gone are the days when price-conscious customers' entry into astronomy was hampered by undersized mounts. The EXOS 2 with robust steel tripod carries the offered optics up to a weight of 13kg for visual observation stably and without wobble. For even more comfort during observation, the mount can be retrofitted with a motor set for the RA axis and DEC axis. This way you always keep the celestial object in the eyepiece without having to manually track the telescope to the course of the stars.
