Bresser Messier 102/600 Refractor Hexafoc GoTo

The versatile short refractor, fully automatic!

The Bresser Messier 102/600 GoTo makes the versatile short refractor fully automatic. You can find and track overview fields, the Moon, and the Sun (with the included solar filters) at the push of a button, with the 2.5-inch Hexafoc as a solid base for eyepieces and cameras.

Short achromatic with wide field of view

The 102 mm lens captures about 212 times more light than the naked eye. With the 26 mm eyepiece, you get 23x magnification. Honest advice: at f/5.9, some color fringing remains visible on bright objects; the sweet spot is between overview and detail, up to about 100x. Only use 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 positions the telescope automatically. Servo motors on both axes then track accurately, and you can later connect an autoguider via the ST-4 port. The EXOS-2 GoTo can carry up to 13 kg.

For whom yes, for whom no
