Bresser - 12618 - Messier AR-90/500 NANO AZ Telescope

NEW - now including a high-quality objective solar filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planetary transits. A high-quality telescope for night- and solar-observation.

Excellent for beginners in astronomy: 90 mm aperture provides around 200 times more light than the naked eye!

Observe craters, valleys and grooves on the Moon at almost 400,000 km away as if you were right up close! The BRESSER MESSIER AR-90s offers you faithful images, not only of the Moon: zoom in on the millions of kilometers distant division of Saturn's rings or discover Jupiter's Great Red Spot, a massive vortex in its atmosphere. Follow the seasons on Mars and see the crescent of Venus.

But also as a compact travel instrument the AR-90s performs very well. Thanks to the shorter focal length of only 500mm, impressive wide-field observations of open star clusters and the Milky Way can be realized.

The MESSIER AR-90s already collects several times more light compared with the device Galileo Galilei used for his famous discoveries nearly four hundred years ago. The fixed dew shield reduces any dew formation and prevents the intrusion of sidelight, which further increases the contrast of the image. On the tube clamp of the AR-90s/500 there is a GP prism rail for mounting on the mount.

The new BRESSER NANO AZ telescope mount was designed to ensure rapid and easy operation. The mount is as easy to handle as a photography tripod, it is just more stable and safely supports telescopes weighing up to 4 kg. The mount can be easily swiveled left, right, up and down by hand, making operation truly child-friendly and with only 3.4 kg weight the mount is also easy to transport. Ideal for an easy entry, as a travel mount or for quick setup. The secure hold of the telescopes is achieved by a clamp for 44 mm prism rails, the so-called GP Level. This is an international cross-brand standard, allowing all telescopes with such a GP prism rail to be installed on this mount. The included sturdy and height-adjustable stainless steel field tripod is the ideal base for the BRESSER NANO AZ mount.
