Bresser Telescope N 203/1000 Messier Hexafoc EXOS-2

Bresser Telescope N 203/1000 Messier Hexafoc EXOS-2 is an impressive Newton reflector that appeals to beginners and advanced observers alike. With an aperture of 203 mm (8 inches) and a focal length of 1000 mm, this telescope offers tremendous light output and an excellent balance between sharpness, contrast and ease of use.

The parabolic main mirror ensures razor-sharp images without distortion, while the thin catch mirror and narrow catch mirror spin minimize diffraction and increase contrast. Thanks to the large light gain, you can see not only the moon and planets in detail, but also faint deep-sky objects such as nebulae, globular clusters and galaxies. The Orion Nebula, the Andromeda Nebula and M13 in Hercules appear with striking structure and depth.

The robust EXOS-2 equatorial mount guarantees stability, precision and expandability. Dual radial ball bearings on both axes ensure smooth motion and minimal backlash. For those wishing to transition to astrophotography later, the mount can easily be fitted with motors for automatic tracking.

The Hexafoc Focuser offers a clear aperture of 65 mm and can be expanded with a 1:10 fine adjustment, making this telescope also suitable for photographic applications. Solid construction and high-quality optics make this instrument a long-lasting investment.
