BRESSER Messier AR-102L/1350 EXOS-2/EQ5 Goto

NEW - now including a high-quality aperture Solar-filter  for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for  night and solar observation.

Ambitious beginners and advanced observers alike will see the  finest details of our Moon and Planets  with the  BRESSER Messier AR-102L telescope . Watch details on Mars like the white polar ice-cap, the Cassini division on the ring of Saturn or the great-red-spot on Jupiter. Scanning the lunar terminator is simply a pleasure. You will never give the  BRESSER Messier AR-102 Telescope  away voluntarily. 

Because of the  extra long focal length  ratio F/13.2 this telescope offers  incredible sharpness and contrast but extremly low color-aberration.  

BRESSER EXOS-2 GoTo Equatorial Mount. Mount ,  tripod  and  hand box  with computer. This German mount has tracking motors in both axes that follow celestial objects very precisely.
The handbox with GoTo works reliable and controls the mount in every situation. 
Precise ball bearings in both axes  ensures minimal backlash at all nine possible tracking speeds.
The battery pack (12 V) is conveniently fastened to the tripod shelf and takes eight size "D" batteries.
The mount rests on a very tough and  rigid steel tripod  and can take optical  tubes of up to 13 kg .  GOTO  Stargazing at the push of a button! 
The Startracker GoTo System enables beginners to start astronomical observations in just a few minutes, and guides you to objects that are hard to localize through a standard finder scope.
Just push the button and the  GoTo System  will find planets, nebulae or galaxies for you and position your telescope automatically and precise.
The GoTo System database  includes thousands of astronomical objects .
The Messier mount with GoTo System allows you to observe without tedious searching, or image faint objects that are hard to find in a standard finder scope.
