Bresser Messier 102/1000 Refractor GoTo SET

The complete GoTo set: three eyepieces and a planetary camera!

The Bresser Messier 102/1000 GoTo SET is the most complete refractor set in the range. In addition to the classic four-inch optics and the fully automatic mount, Bresser includes three Plössl eyepieces, a Deluxe smartphone holder, and an HD Moon Planetary guider camera: observing and your first moon photo from a single box.

Classic f/9.8 achromat

The 102 mm lens gathers about 212 times more light than the naked eye. With the three eyepieces you view at 38x, 67x, and 154x: a complete magnification range up to just below the maximum of approximately 204x. Color aberration remains well controlled at f/9.8.

StarTracker GoTo system with camera

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. The included HD camera works as a planetary camera and as an autoguider on the ST-4 port: so the step up to serious astrophotography is already built in.

Included

• Achromatic optics 102/1000
• EXOS-2 GoTo Mount with StarTracker Hand Controller
• Stainless steel tripod
• Plössl eyepieces 26, 15 and 6.5 mm (1.25 inch)
• 6×30 viewfinder
• 90 degree star diagonal
• Deluxe smartphone holder
• HD Moon Planetary guide camera

Featured accessories

The eyepiece set is already complete; what remains is power and protection. The Bresser universal power supply 230V/12V (39 euros) powers the mount at home; the Bresser Mobile Power Station 155 Wh (169 euros) keeps it running all night in the field. An Omegon Premium moon filter (19.90 euros) dampens the moonlight and the Oklop transport bag for 102/1000 refractors (89 euro) protects the tube on the way.

For whom yes, for whom no

Pros: anyone who wants to be fully equipped in a single purchase, from observation to the first planetary photograph. Cons: not for purely visual budget buyers; the 102/1000 EXOS variants offer the same optics more affordably. Compare via the Buying guide. Meer Bresser is on the merk page.
