Description
The Bresser Galaxia II 114/900 EQ (carbon) Newtonian reflector is a compromise between a telescope for planetary observations and a telescope for initial observations of Deep Sky objects. This model became especially interesting after the inclusion of an aperture solar filter in the package, which significantly expands the capabilities of the device. Thanks to a fairly large 4.5-inch primary mirror, the telescope collects a fairly large amount of light, while the focal length of 900 mm will allow you to achieve high magnification even with long-focus glasses. With this telescope, you will be able to distinguish clearer contours of craters on the Moon with a diameter of up to 5 km, the polar caps of Mars, the Cassini gap in the rings of Saturn, faint stars (up to 12.4 magnitudes). Uranus and Neptune will already be in the form of disks. Nebulae around the constellations Lyra and Orion, and more distant ones, located up to thousands of light years from Earth, will become available to your eye in the form of quite contrasting spots.
The LED viewfinder with dot guidance makes it much easier to aim the device at an object of interest, and the equatorial mount of the telescope with fine movement mechanisms will allow you to easily observe the daily movement of objects across the sky. The Barlow lens is designed to triple the magnification of the telescope if necessary.
The package includes an adapter for a smartphone (tablet). 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 using the adapter's many suction cups (in the case of a grooved back surface of the smartphone, it is recommended to use the front camera).
What space objects can be observed with this telescope:
Sun: Sunspots - dark areas on the surface of the Sun, associated with magnetic activity; clearly visible when using a solar filter with a magnification of 45x; Surface granulation - a granular structure of the Sun's photosphere, formed by convective flows; visible at a magnification of 100x with a solar filter; Flares - bright areas around sunspots, visible when observed through a filter; The entire solar disk - at a minimum magnification of 45x, the general structure of the disk is clearly visible
Moon: Craters - large and medium impact craters, including Tycho, Copernicus, Clavius; relief details up to several kilometers in diameter; Mountain ranges - lunar mountains, such as the Apennine Range; clearly visible vertical structure near the terminator; Seas (Mare) - large dark plains of volcanic origin, including the Sea of Tranquility, the Sea of Rain; Furrows and gorges - tectonic structures of the surface, such as the Ariadea Furrow; Crater rays - bright emission streaks radiating from young craters, including Tycho and Copernicus; Mountain peaks in terminator conditions - sunlit peaks emerging from the shadow
Planets: Jupiter - cloud belts, Great Red Spot under favorable conditions, four Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto) as bright spots; Saturn - Saturn's rings and their inclination, Cassini division under good atmospheric conditions, largest moon Titan; Mars - polar ice caps at opposition, overall color of the disk and contrasting dark areas; Venus - phases of Venus, similar to lunar phases, change in apparent size of the disk; Uranus - blue-green disk, possible to distinguish from stars due to apparent angular size; Neptune - star-like blue disk, id...
