With its short focal length of 460 mm, it captures wide expanses of sky in a single image. Ideal for admiring open star clusters, the Milky Way and large nebulae. Light, sturdy and compact - perfect for travel or quick taking outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"32295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Bresser-AC-102-460-AR-102-Telescoop-Messier-Hexafoc-OTA-2.jpg\" alt=\"Bresser AC 102\/460 AR-102 optical tube with Meade\/Explore Scientific T-Profil accessory shoe and 6\u00d730 viewfinder\" class=\"wp-image-32295\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clear image with natural colors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 102 mm lens captures enough light to deliver bright, high-contrast images. Stars appear sharp all the way to the edge of the image. The achromatic construction keeps colors true to life, so you not only see more, but also more realistically. You'll enjoy vivid images without distracting distortion - ideal for those just starting out with visual observations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">User-friendly Hexafoc focuser<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The large 64 mm Hexafoc focuser makes focusing smooth and precise. You feel immediately when the image is perfectly adjusted. For those who want to expand later, there is an optional 1:10 fine adjustment. This allows you to focus even more precisely at high magnifications or photography - keeping your image stable even with minor adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"32294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Bresser-AC-102-460-AR-102-Telescoop-Messier-Hexafoc-OTA-1.jpg\" alt=\"Bresser AC 102\/460 AR-102 close-up Hexafoc focuser with 64 mm free aperture\" class=\"wp-image-32294\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perfect for the quick start<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ready to use within minutes. No complicated alignment or calibration required. Mount the tube on a lightweight mount, place your eyepiece, and you're ready to explore the night sky. Its low weight makes it easy to transport, making this a great choice for beginners or advanced observers looking for a second, compact telescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to expect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2713 Moon: large craters and sharp contrasts<br>\u2713 Planets: clear image at low magnifications<br>\u2713 Deep-sky: wide star fields and open clusters<br>\u2713 Sun: suitable with solar filter (included)<br>\u2717 Astrophotography: limited by short focal length<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Optics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Design<\/td><td>Achromat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Type<\/td><td>Refractor<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aperture (mm)<\/td><td>102<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Focal length (mm)<\/td><td>460<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Focal Ratio (f\/)<\/td><td>4,5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Resolution<\/td><td>1,13\u2033<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Limit value (mag)<\/td><td>11,8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Light output<\/td><td>210\u00d7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Max. useful magnification<\/td><td>204\u00d7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tube material<\/td><td>Aluminum<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tube construction<\/td><td>Full tube<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tube diameter (mm)<\/td><td>104<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tube weight (kg)<\/td><td>2,8<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Focuser<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Design<\/td><td>Hexafoc<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ocular connection<\/td><td>2\u2033 \/ 1,25\u2033<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Camera adapter<\/td><td>T2 (M42 \u00d7 0.75)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Free opening (mm)<\/td><td>64<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mount<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Design<\/td><td>OTA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GoTo steering<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included accessories<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Section<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Eyepieces<\/td><td>26 mm (1.25\u2033)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Seeker<\/td><td>6\u00d730 viewfinder<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Diagonal<\/td><td>1.25\u2033, 90\u00b0 star diagonal<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Solar filter<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dew cap<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Accessory shoe<\/td><td>Meade\/Explore Scientific T-Profil<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dovetail<\/td><td>Vixen-style<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Series<\/td><td>Messier<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Observation goals<\/td><td>Nebulae &amp;
