Bresser Messier 102/1000 Refractor Hexafoc EXOS-2

Bresser Telescope AC 102/1000 Messier Hexafoc EXOS-2 is a classic refractor that sets the standard for sharpness and ease of use in this price range. With a lens aperture of 102 mm and a focal length of 1,000 mm, this telescope shows stunning detail on the moon and planets, as well as bright deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula 1,500 light years away.

The achromatic optics deliver high-contrast images with minimal color errors, ideal for visual observation as well as basic astrophotography. The fully coated lenses and robust aluminum tube design ensure durability and clarity.

The EXOS-2 mount is one of the most stable in its class. Thanks to double radial ball bearings on both axes and an optimized RA axis, the mount runs smoothly and accurately, with minimal backlash. Those who add motors later can even take their first steps in astrophotography.

The Hexafoc Focuser with a free aperture of 65 mm makes focusing extremely precise and is expandable with a 1:10 fine adjustment for photographic work if desired. The combination of this focuser and the sturdy mount ensures that this instrument will give both beginners and advanced users years of pleasure.
