Bresser N 203/1200
Powerful viewer for sharp and high-contrast images
The Bresser N 203/1200 Messier lets you see the Moon, planets and distant nebulae in impressive detail. With its large 203 mm mirror, it captures an enormous amount of light, making even faint deep-sky objects visible. The long focal length of 1200 mm provides high magnifications with sharp images and nice contrast - ideal for those who like to view the fine structures on Jupiter or the rings of Saturn.
Clear image even at high magnification
The parabolic primary mirror provides a clean, clear image without distortion. That means you see more details, even at high magnifications. You'll recognize cloud bands on Jupiter, shadows of moons and the subtle color differences on Mars. Thanks to the small obstruction, the image remains clear, with natural contrast and realistic colors.
Ready for deep-sky discovery
In addition to planets, the N 203/1200 shows nebulae, star clusters and galaxies of surprising brightness. Look at the Orion Nebula or discover spiral arms in Andromeda. The telescope offers a nice balance between magnification and brightness, so you can observe sharply both near and far.
Precise focusing with Hexafoc
The robust Hexafoc Focuser of 2″ lets you focus smoothly and precisely. No wobble or play - just stable and smooth movements. Whether you use an eyepiece or connect a camera via the T2 adapter, the image stays exactly in focus.
Solid construction, ready for expansion
The tube is made of sturdy aluminum and weighs less than 12 pounds - sturdy, but easy to handle. Thanks to the Vixen swallowtail, it fits on many mounts. The Messier series is modular, so you can expand it later with motors or electronic controls.
