Description
The Bresser Pollux 150/1400 EQ3 Carbon telescope is a Newtonian reflector telescope with catadioptric optics, designed specifically for astronomy beginners who want to get the most out of an affordable format. With a 150 mm objective lens diameter and 1400 mm focal length, this instrument allows you to observe the Sun, Moon, planets and deep space objects in detail. The compact design of the short tube with a long focal length makes the telescope convenient for transportation and storage. The EQ3 equatorial mount ensures precise tracking of objects along the sky thanks to flexible shafts on both axes. The kit already includes a solar filter, smartphone adapter and 3x Barlow lens, making the set complete from the first day of use. The convenient lateral eye position during observation eliminates the need to lean or take uncomfortable poses, which is especially important for long sessions outdoors. The BRESSER Pollux-II 150/1400 EQ3 is the perfect start for those taking their first steps into the exciting world of astronomy.
What space objects can be observed with this telescope:
Sun: Solar disk - with included solar filter; Sunspots - dark formations on the surface of the Sun, associated with magnetic activity; Solar surface granularity - the grainy structure of the photosphere
Moon: Lunar craters - traces of meteorite impacts of various sizes and ages; Lunar mountains and ridges - large relief formations on the surface; Lunar seas - dark flat areas of solidified lava
Planets of the Solar System: Mars - polar caps and dark albedo surface details; Jupiter - cloud bands and four Galilean moons; Saturn - rings and largest moon Titan; Venus - phases of the planet; Uranus - blue-green disk
Deep Sky Objects: Open star clusters - e.g., Pleiades (M45), Perseus cluster; Globular star clusters - e.g., M13 in Hercules; Planetary nebulae - e.g., Ring Nebula (M57); Bright galaxies - e.g., Andromeda galaxy (M31)
Design features
- Catadioptric optics of the Newtonian system - a combination of a mirror and a lens in one optical scheme allows you to achieve a large focal length of 1400 mm with a relatively short tube. This means more compact dimensions compared to classic refractors of similar power. The user receives a high-quality enlarged image without excessive tube length. This design greatly simplifies the transportation and storage of the telescope.
- Objective diameter 150 mm - the aperture determines how much light the telescope collects, and 150 mm is a significant indicator for the amateur level. A larger aperture provides a clearer, brighter image and allows you to see finer details. The limiting magnitude of this telescope allows you to observe objects that are not visible to the naked eye. The resolution of 0.85 arcseconds allows you to distinguish fine details on the surface of the Moon and planets.
- The focal length of 1400 mm and the aperture of F/9.3 - the relative aperture of F/9.3 indicates a long-focus system, optimal for planetary observations. This configuration provides a contrast image with minimal aberrations. The long focal length provides a large scale image of planets and details of the M...
