Bresser Messier 102/460 Refractor Hexafoc GoTo

Richfield with GoTo: star fields at the touch of a button!

The Bresser Messier 102/460 GoTo combines the fast richfield optics with the fully automatic EXOS-2 GoTo. Clusters of stars and nebulae appear on the touch of a button in the wide field of view, and with the included sun filters you can also safely look at the sun.

Fast richfield achromat

The 102 mm lens captures approximately 212 times more light than the naked eye and shows a very wide field of view at 18x. Honest advice: at f/4.5, color fringing is visible on bright objects; this is an overview viewer for star fields, not a planet viewer. Use the solar filters only if they are undamaged and never look at the sun without certified protection.

StarTracker GoTo System

The StarTracker hand controller recognizes over 100,000 objects and positions the telescope automatically. Servo motors on both axes then follow precisely, and later you can connect an autoguide via the ST-4 port. The EXOS-2 GoTo weighs up to 13 kg. With the ST-4 port and the fast optics, this is also an entry-level tool for wide-angle photography.

For whom yes, for whom no

Well: widefield observers and beginning astrophotographers looking for comfort. Not: planet lovers; then choose the 102/1000 or 127L GoTo. Compare via the Buying guide. Meer Bresser is on the brand page.
