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.The combination of large aperture and short focal length predestine the BRESSER Messier AR-152S for the observation of large celestial objects. Experience the famous globular cluster M 13 in the constellation Hercules: Thousands of pinpoint stars stand before a black sky like so many diamonds spilled onto black velvet. Equipped with nebular filters you can watch the Gulf of Mexico in the North America Nebula and all the other celestial objects that Charles Messier listed in 1781. The compact size of the Messier AR-152S combines outstanding tranportability, high light gathering power and low weight for a telescope of this aperture. The special four lens construction delivers a better perfomance than a classical two lens achromat of this focal length. This telescope is only an optical tube without mount and tripod.FEATURESOptical design: refractor telescopeLens diameter: 152 mm / focal length: 760 mm / F/5Maximum recommended magnification: 254xTelescope for night and solar observationHigh quality BRESSER refractor opticsUniversal telescope for planets, double stars, planetary nebulae and deep-skyExcellent focuser with 2,5" (65 mm) open diameterFour lens construction8x50 straight through viewfinder reticleoptimized finder socket for comfortable useCradle rings with handle and integrated piggyback camera holder (1/4 thread)Smartphone camera adapter for sky navigation includedUniversal 44 mm Dovetail plate with stainless steel rail (fits LXD75/Great Polaris/EQ5)50,8 mm (2") to 31,7 mm (1,25") adapter with integrated T2 thread (T2-adapter ring for your camera is needed)Backfocus: 150 mm behind Hexafoc with attached 2" eyepiece adapterCollimatable lens cellSCOPE OF DELIVERYOptical Tubeaperture solar-filter26 mm Super Plössl eyepiece (31.7 mm / 1.25")31,7 mm (1.25") diagonal mirrorintegrated 31.7 mm and T2 adaptertube rings with universal 44 mm Dovetail plate with stainless steel rail (fits LXD75/Great Polaris/EQ5)handle with camera holderSmartphone adapter for celestial navigation 8x50 Viewfinderastronomy PC software Stellariumrotatable star map
Universal 60mm viewfinder and guide telescope with a focal length of 250mmExcellent 10x60
viewfinder telescope with removable eyepiece unit and crosshairs with
adjustable red illumination. The larger aperture and focal length, provide an even brighter field of view and more accurate tracking due to the higher resolution. The precise helical focuser and the 1.25
inch /31.7mm plug-in connection, as well as the T2 camera connection
thread (M42x0.75mm), allow the autoguiding required for long time
exposure to obtain a point-shaped star image. It can also be used as a
mini travel telescope.High quality 10x60 viewfinder telescope with adjustable crosshair illuminationImage
sharpness and viewing characteristics lift this viewfinder well above
the level of the usual 10x60 viewfinder scopes. The visible image is
bright and crisply sharp. Furthermore, this viewfinder has a very large
field of view (FOV) of 6.0 degrees. This makes finding and adjusting
objects much easier. The existing scale markings (pitch=0.85 degree) on the
crosshair are a good reference for estimating distances, and the open
centre markings also make it easier to centre objects precisely. All
lens surfaces are protected against weathering by multi-coating and
guarantee a bright viewfinder image due to the high light transmission
values. The adjustable red LED illumination unit is powered by two LR41
coin batteries. The main lens and the crosshairs can be focused
independently of each other, giving you perfect focus for your eyes.Compact tracking unit for autoguidingOne
of the main applications for this telescope is the so-called
autoguiding. Here the usually larger photo-taking optics are actively
corrected by a smaller guiding telescope with a second tracking camera.
This means that the mechanical fluctuations in the tracking accuracy,
which are present in all astronomical telescope mounts, are measured by
the tracking camera and compensated accordingly. This is necessary in
order to obtain a point-shaped star image on the astrophotos during long
time exposures and to avoid unwanted star trails. For this purpose, the
guiding telescope is inserted into the existing viewfinder shoe of the
photo-taking optics and aligned parallel. If the existing viewfinder
shoe is not compatible, a suitable viewfinder shoe is also included.
With the 1.25 inch / 31,7mm plug connection at the rear end or via T2
thread connection (M42x0,75mm), a tracking camera can be mounted
afterwards. This is held securely by a brass ring clamp and 3 clamping
screws. Please note the required back focus for your tracking camera.
The focal plane (backfocus) is approx. 22mm behind the T2 thread. The
sensitive focusing on the guiding star is done by a large knurled wheel
of the mechanically precise manufactured helical focuser. For easy
reproduction of the point of focus, this has a white millimetre scale
from 0 to 28mm, which is attached by laser engraving. After the tracking
camera has been connected directly or via computer to the telescope
mount and the necessary basic settings have been made, the first
astrophotos with long time exposure can be taken.Use as mini travel telescopeThis
viewfinder and guide telescope can also be used quite simply as a mini
travel telescope. With the optional eyepieces, a magnification of 9x to 50x can be achieved. Nearly all eyepieces with a focal length of 5 to
26mm and 1.25 inch/31.7mm plug connection are suitable. Especially
recommended are the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC eyepieces of the 52 degree (Art.
02195xx) and 62 degree (02196xx) LER series. Note: Only straight view
use is possible.Metal viewfinder holder and viewfinder shoeThe
mount of this viewfinder and guide telescope is completely made of
aluminium and is a stable base. The viewfinder mount is suitable for
many common types of telescopes, such as EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC, BRESSER
MESSIER etc. If the existing viewfinder shoe is not compatible, a
matching viewfinder shoe is also included. This can be attached to the
telescopic tube by means of four M5 screws. The bore distances of the
viewfinder shoe are 31.7mm on the longitudinal and transverse axis. The
six large adjustment screws with non-slip knurling make it easy to align
the viewfinder, even with clammy fingers. All adjusting and clamping
screws have plastic tips that effectively prevent the viewfinder housing
and viewfinder mount from being scratched.FEATURESExcellent 10x60 viewfinder and guiding telescopeCan also be used as mini travel telescopePerfect image sharpness and good viewing comfortFMC Multi-coated lens surfacesLens focal length: 250mmMax. possible camera weight: 550gRemovable eyepiece/cross hair unitCamera connection via 1.25 inch / 31.7mm plug connection or T2 threadT2 thread: M42 x 0,75mmPrecise helical focuser for focusing the visible imageFocuser travel range: 28mmClose focus distance: 3 mLaser engraved millimetre scale from 0 to 28mm on the focuserFocal plane (backfocus) is approx. 22mm behind the T2 threadSeparate focusing of the crosshair at the eyepieceVery large field of view FOV of 6.0 degreesWith adjustable red cross-hair iillumination Scale markings crosshair with 0,85 degree graduationPower supply of illumination unit: coin battery type LR41 (2pcs)Brass ring clamp and 3 clamping screws on the 1.25 inch plug connectionWith optional eyepieces magnifications from 9x to 50x can be achievedSuitable are almost all eyepieces with 1.25 inch/31,7mm shaftMounting of the viewfinder telescope is completely made of aluminiumViewfinder mount with 6 large adjustment screws with knurled head for easy gripFinder shoe suitable for EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC, BRESSER MESSIER etc.Additionally a suitable viewfinder shoe is includedBore distances of the viewfinder shoe are 31.7mm on the longitudinal and transverse axisAdjusting and clamping screws have plastic tipsWHAT'S INCLUDED10x60 viewfinder/guiding telescopeEyepiece unit with crosshairCrosshair illumination unit incl. batteriesViewfinder holder with viewfinder shoeInstruction manual
