Bresser Messier MCX 127/1900 Maksutov EQ/AZ GoTo

All-in-one: 127 mm Maksutov on a GoTo fork mount!

The Bresser MCX 127/1900 is the all-in-one solution in the Maksutov line. Optics, GoTo mount, and tripod form a single integrated system that you set up in minutes. The fork mount operates azimuthally for quick viewing and switches to equatorial for astrophotography.

Maksutov optics: high contrast, no maintenance

The Maksutov design folds a 1900 mm focal length into a short, closed tube. The meniscus lens corrects the mirror almost completely: no chromatic aberration and a small central obstruction, resulting in high contrast. The 127 mm aperture with the included 26 mm eyepiece provides 73x magnification; consider around 254x as the maximum (f/15). Collimation is rarely needed, and the optics are virtually maintenance-free. Allow for 30 to 45 minutes of cool-down time: the closed tube needs to reach ambient temperature for the sharpest image.

GoTo fork mounting with two positions

The computerised fork mount automatically searches for and tracks objects. In the alt-azimuth position, you are set up outside the fastest; with the equatorial wedge position, you fully compensate for the Earth's rotation for longer exposures.

Included

• Maksutov optics 127/1900

Featured accessories

The Bresser Plössl 10 mm eyepiece (190x, 29 euro) is the maximum useful magnification. The Bresser MCX127 dew shield (34 euro) keeps the meniscus lens free of dew longer, and the Bresser Transport Case Deluxe for MCX102/127 (179 euro) protects the complete system on the go. The universal power supply 230V/12V (39 euro) powers the mount at home.

For whom yes, for whom no

Best: for anyone wanting a single compact all-in-one system for the Moon, planets, and nature observation. Not: for anyone wanting an expandable German mount platform; in that case, choose the 127/1900 on EXOS-2. Compare via the Buying guide Whether the page with catadioptric telescopes.
