Bresser Messier 152/1200 Refractor Hexafoc GoTo

The ultimate refraction image, fully automatically operated!

The Bresser Messier 152/1200 GoTo is the king of the refractor line with fully automatic control. Six-inch aperture for pin-sharp stars and high planetary contrast, automatically aimed and tracked, with safe solar observation via the included objective solar filter.

Six inch achromatic

The 152 mm lens captures about 472 times more light than the naked eye. With the 26 mm eyepiece you view at 46x; keep about 300x as the maximum. On the brightest objects a slight color tint is visible; below that, this tube shows the classic refractor image at its best. Only use the solar filters if they are undamaged and never look at the sun without certified protection.

StarTracker GoTo System

The StarTracker hand controller knows over 100,000 objects and automatically positions the telescope. Servo motors on both axes then track accurately, and via the ST-4 port you can later connect an autoguider. The EXOS-2 GoTo carries up to 13 kg. This set is close to the upper limit of its load capacity; a sheltered setup location pays off at maximum magnification.
