Description
The Messier telescope line from the German manufacturer Bresser is distinguished by high build quality, precision fitting of optical elements and the use of only high-quality materials. There are no compromises in quality and price. All units, parts, and telescope mirrors are made with precision accuracy, which provides the best optical and operational characteristics in their class. Bresser Messier telescopes are highly appreciated by experienced astronomy enthusiasts.

The main purpose of the Messier NT-150L/1200 EXOS1/EQ4 telescope is to observe galaxies, nebulae and other faint objects in deep space. With its help, you can see extended nebulae such as the Orion Nebula, bright galaxies such as the Whirlpool in the constellation Canes Venatici, many planetary nebulae, and the total number of potentially accessible objects will be more than one thousand. At the same time, the large diameter of the lens will allow you to successfully use the telescope to observe details on the disks of planets and the Moon, you just need to buy a short-focus eyepiece. It is necessary to note the possibility of using this telescope for astronomical photography. There is a screw on the mounting clamp of the tube, on which almost any camera equipped with a standard tripod mount can be installed. In this way, you can get wide-angle pictures of star fields, the Milky Way, the brightest galaxies and nebulae. In addition, the 2-inch focusing device of the telescope is equipped with a T-adapter, allowing the telescope to be used as a large lens for a SLR camera, devoid of chromatic aberration that distorts color rendition. If you ensure smooth tracking of the tube behind a celestial body, you can obtain detailed images of distant space objects.
The telescope is equipped with a German equatorial mount EXOS-1 and a stable steel tripod. The tripod is additionally rigidified by a metal shelf for accessories, which has holes for 1.25” and 2” eyepieces. The tripod height is adjustable, which allows the telescope to be adapted to the height of the observer. The EXOS-1/EQ4 mount has a clear design and control system and is capable of carrying a tube weighing up to 7 kg. The fine movement mechanisms on both axes are equipped with flexible, comfortable handles for comfortable control of the telescope in any position of the observer. The mount can be supplemented with a separately purchased electric drive for the right ascension axis and a pole finder to track the daily movement of luminaries without the participation of the observer during visual observations or photography.
The telescope is equipped with a finder, which is attached to the tube with a metal bracket, maintaining the alignment of the finder and the telescope throughout the entire observation session.
Also included in the delivery set is a colorful moving map of the starry sky for studying the sky and preparing for observations. For the same purpose, only much more fully and deeply, serves the program - planetarium Stellarium for a personal computer, which shows the night sky with all the constellations, planets and nebulae on the computer screen for the time and place of observation selected by the user.
