Description
This model is one of the most inexpensive in its class, while not inferior to its competitors in terms of optics quality and ease of use. Short-focus refractors with a lens diameter of 90 mm provide fairly wide possibilities for both planetary and star cluster observations, without introducing significant chromatic distortions of the image and remaining affordable. A telescope with this aperture will be quite sufficient for observing many space objects, from the Moon to bright galaxies and nebulae. Interesting differences are the carbon fiber finish of the tube and an adapter for a smartphone camera. With the help of the smartphone adapter included with the telescope, it is easy to photograph objects of observation on the camera of your smartphone. Optionally, the telescope can be paired with a PC eyepiece for recording and editing images and videos of the night sky.

The Bresser brand offers a wide range of traditionally high-quality telescopes of any complexity and for all ages.
Bresser Taurus 90/500 NG (carbon) is certainly one of the most inexpensive telescopes in its class. This was achieved thanks to a new, cheaper type of NG mount, which combines the simplicity of the altazimuth and the advantages of the equatorial design. This mount is perfectly balanced and practically does not allow unnecessary vibrations of the telescope. At the same time, the optics are of very high quality and, in combination with a large aperture of the objective, can satisfy many demanding users.
This achromatic refractor will allow you to distinguish more distinct contours of the lunar mountains and 5 km craters, the seas and seasons on Mars, the Cassini gap in the rings of Saturn, the Crescent of Venus, Uranus and Neptune in the form of small disks. On Jupiter, you can see the Great Red Spot and even the shadows of the planet's satellites. The view will also include faint stars (up to 12 magnitudes), many nebulae, and all objects in the Messier catalog. Using an aperture filter, it is possible to determine the structure of sunspots. The short focus of the telescope has a positive effect on the aperture ratio, allowing you to observe a significantly larger number of low-brightness Deep Sky objects.
The LED viewfinder with point focusing will make it much easier to point the device at an object of interest not only at night , and the NG mount of the telescope will allow you to fix the device even on moving objects and not lose them from your field of view.
A set of accessories will make observations easier and more exciting and detailed. A diagonal mirror will allow landscape observations. A Barlow lens will allow you to get a threefold increase if necessary. The kit includes an adapter for a smartphone (tablet) camera. The adapter is attached to the selected eyepiece and allows you to take photos and videos with the main or front camera of the gadget. The smooth back of the smartphone is securely attached with the help of multiple suction cups of the adapter (in case of a ribbed back surface of the smartphone, it is recommended to use the front camera).
Due to the ease of assembly/disassembly, reliability of the lens optical system, and the light weight of the mount, the telescope can be easily transported without fear that something will happen to it. Using a diagonal mirror, the telescope can easily be converted into a powerful telescope for daytime observations. And the quality of the images obtained, provided by achromatic optics with multi-layer enlightenment, will not disappoint not only a beginner, but also a more experienced astronomer.
