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 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.

Mount, tripod & hand box with computer.
This German mount is equipped with tracking motors in both axes that can accurately track and position astronomical objects. The handbox with GoTo function controls the mount accurately and reliably. Precision gears in both axes allow operation with a minimum of gear backlash at all of the nine possible speeds. The battery pack (12 V) conveniently mounts on the shelf and holds 8 "D" size batteries. The mount includes a solidly finished tubular steel tripod with high stability and is loadable with optical tubes up to 13 kg in weight. The GoTo control Sky observation simply at the push of a button!
With the Bresser Startracker GoTo system, even as an interested beginner, you are able to observe celestial objects in a few minutes, which you would have found only with difficulty or not at all without GoTo! At the push of a button, the GoTo System searches for planets, nebulae or galaxies and positions your telescope fully automatically. The database of the GoTo system holds countless celestial objects ready for you. Use a Messier series telescope with GoTo System to observe celestial objects without a long search, or to photograph faint objects that you can't reach with classical search methods!
