BRESSER Messier MC-100/1400 EXOS-2 GoTo

NEW – now including a high-quality aperture Solar-filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night and solar observation.

The BRESSER Messier MC-100 EXOS-2 GoTo telescope excels with high rigidity and tack-sharp optics. The 100mm aperture enables you to observe small bright nebulas, globular clusters, the moon, planets and a lot more in the depth of space. The high rigidity of the EXOS-2 GoTo mount allows for relaxed observations and is helpful for those making their first attempts at astrophotography.
The telescope is perfect for observing the moon and the planets with high magnifications. The EXOS-2 GoTo mount provides automatic finding and guiding of the nightsky objects to make the observing as easy as possible.

Stargazing at the push of a button!
The BRESSER GoTo System enables beginners to start astronomical observations in just a few minutes, and guides you to objects that are hard to localize through a standard finder scope. Just push the button and the GoTo System will find planets, nebulae or galaxies for you and position your telescope automatically and precise. The GoTo System database includes over 100,000 astronomical objects and still has space for your additions. The Messier telescope with GoTo System allows you to observe without tedious searching, or image faint objects that are hard to find in a standard finder scope! The ''StarTracker'' Goto systems uses servo motors for both axes and features an ST-4 compatible autoguiding input. Guiding aggressivity can be set on the mount itself.
