Bresser MC 152/1900 Telescope - Compact powerhouse for moon and planets
The Bresser MC 152/1900 is made for those who want to see the moon, Jupiter or Saturn in razor-sharp detail. This Maksutov telescope combines a long focal length with a compact design - ideal for use at home or on the road.
You get a bright, high-contrast image without having to collimate every time. The closed tube keeps the optics dust-free and stable, so you get sharp images time after time. Perfect for those who just want to watch without much maintenance.
The long focal length of 1900 mm provides powerful magnifications, allowing you to discern fine details such as the Cassini separation in Saturn's rings or Jupiter's cloud bands. The 152 mm aperture captures enough light to also make bright deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula or Andromeda Galaxy visible.
The Hexafoc Focuser with an aperture of 64 mm offers extra precision. You focus smoothly, even at high magnification. An optional fine adjustment (1:10) gives you even more control - ideal for those who want to experiment with photography.
The EXOS-2 mount ensures stability and precise movements. With its metal tripod and sturdy bearings, the image remains calm even with heavy eyepieces or wind. You track sky objects effortlessly as they move through the field of view.
In short: the Bresser MC 152/1900 offers professional performance in a user-friendly format. A robust choice for enthusiastic beginners who want quality without the hassle.
