Your first GoTo: the telescope searches, you watch!
The Bresser 80/400 Automatic GoTo is the most affordable way to experience automatic stargazing with a real eyepiece. The computer-controlled mount automatically locates and tracks the Moon, planets, and bright star clusters. Unlike a smart telescope, you look through the telescope with your own eye.



Fast 80mm optics
The 80mm lens captures approximately 131 times more light than the naked eye and, with a 400mm focal length (f/5), displays a wide field of view. Honest advice: this short design introduces chromatic aberration on bright objects and is at its strongest at low magnification; consider around 120x as a practical maximum.

Automatic search and follow
After a quick alignment on two bright stars, you choose from the object database and the mount automatically slews to it. Objects then remain centered, making it ideal for shared viewing without constant adjustments.
Included
- Achromatic optics 80/400

Featured accessories
The Bresser 2x Barlow Lens (29.90 euro) doubles the magnification for the Moon. An Omegon Premium moon filter (19.90 euro) dims the moonlight. For the solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, the Bresser eclipse glasses (3.20 euro) are the safe choice; this telescope does not have a solar filter. For transport, the Armor transport case for 80/600 refractors (59 euros).
For whom yes, for whom no
For: Beginners and families who want to look live through an eyepiece without searching. Not for: Those expecting photo results on a screen; compare them first smart telescopes. More options at telescopes for beginners and on the Bresser 1TP5 Page.
