Product information "BRESSER Messier MC-152/2250 EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo Telescope Set"

The telescope set, composed of Messier MC-152/2250 optics and EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo mount, offers everything you need for fascinating celestial observations! Thanks to the long 2250 mm focal length, you can enjoy impressive and detailed planetary observations. The tube stands out with its compact Maksutov-Cassegrain design, ensuring optimal portability. With the 150 mm aperture, you can also observe smaller nebulae and distant galaxies in the night sky. The modern mount also impresses with easy sky navigation and precise tracking, thanks to the excellent GoTo control and the user-friendly ExploreStars app. And with the included solar filter, you can make exciting daytime discoveries on the surface of our own star!

The Telescope

The compact optics define the Messier MC-152. Its short length makes it ideal for mobile use. With the long 2250 mm focal length, you can look forward to exciting planetary observations at high magnifications. The 152 mm aperture allows you to observe smaller nebulae in the vastness of space. Find the remnants of a massive star explosion from 1054 in the constellation Taurus, or trace the glowing filaments of the Great Orion Nebula. Spot the famous Whirlpool Galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major, or find the Dumbbell Nebula in the constellation Vulpecula. Additionally, the high-quality objective solar filter enables safe observations of sunspots, eclipses, and planetary transits. (Caution: Never point the telescope at the sun without the solar filter!)

The Mount

The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo mount is equipped with a modern and very precise GoTo control. It features a robust Wi-Fi controller unit that provides all necessary interfaces. The NEMA-11 stepper motors are connected directly to this unit via cable, and an ST-4 compatible autoguider port is also available. The control also supports microstepping for precise tracking.

Intuitive operation via app and graphical star chart
The dedicated ExploreStars app for the PMC-Eight system impresses with a visually appealing, intuitive user interface. The stars available for alignment during control initialization and all celestial objects in the database are displayed as a star chart with additional text information. All these objects can be conveniently viewed and selected.

Powerful controller unit with Open GoTo for customisation
The heart of the controller unit consists of a completely autonomous 2-channel multi-processor with 8 CPUs and a Wi-Fi Ethernet 10/100 adapter with IP functionality. This allows remote operation via browser, ASCOM, app, or serial connection. Open GoTo also allows custom firmware to be written and loaded onto the controller unit, enabling individual customisation of device functions and the creation of custom object lists.

Polar finder included
The pre-installed polar finder scope allows quick and precise polar alignment and long exposure times without unwanted star trails. The integrated LED illumination unit further enhances the usability of the polar finder.

BRESSER Full HD Deep-Sky Camera & Guider 1.25"
BRESSER Full HD Deep Sky Camera with autoguider: a great camera for different types of astrophotography and for autoguiding. Not only suitable for planets, but also for deep-sky objects such as galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. Dedicated ToupSky Astro Imaging software supports video preview, video recording, video processing, image capture and processing, dark field correction and raw data output. Easy to use, but with professional results. One of the main features of the new backlit SONY IMX290 CMOS sensor is its high light sensitivity, which makes it possible to detect deep-sky objects without active cooling. SONY has increased the quantum efficiency at 533 nm wavelength up to 77%, which is much better than other CMOS sensors have been able to achieve in the past. Connect this camera to a guidescope and attach the camera's built-in ST-4 port, directly to your telescope's equatorial mount guide port and autoguide - using many popular audioguiding programs (PHD, Guidedog and more). Autoguiding enables you to take accurate pictures with long exposure times of several minutes. Thanks to the extra light-sensitive camera, you now always have a suitable guide star to hand, even using short exposure times. An ST-4 protocol connection cable is also included. Simple automatic tracking at its best. You can use this camera with all guiding telescopes, or off-axis guiders that accept a 1.25 " tube, 1.25" filter thread (M28.5x0.6) or C-mount adapter thread (1 "x1 /32"). IMPORTANT NOTES: This is not a stand-alone guider camera. You always need a Windows 10/11 computer to take pictures and for autoguiding. The autoguider software is not included. You can use PHD2 Guiding, Guidedog, Metaguide, Guidemaster (freeware) or AstroArt, MaxIm DL (paid).

The optics, with a parabolic primary mirror, large aperture, and long 1,000-mm focal length, reveal fine details on planets and fascinating structures in distant galaxies. Additionally, you can admire the surface of our own star during the day with the secure solar filter. The powerful GoTo mount and app ensure precise tracking during your observations and astrophotography sessions, as well as easy orientation and navigation in the sky. The Telescope The BRESSER Messier NT-203 Telescope is equipped with a parabolic primary mirror, allowing observations that were unattainable in this price range just a few years ago. Modern manufacturing technology enables you to track the shadow of Jupiter's moons on the planet itself; the range of structures and details on Jupiter's surface is breathtaking. The BRESSER Messier NT-203 not only excels at planetary observation: Discover structures in distant galaxies and be fascinated by the filaments of emission nebulae in the vastness of the Milky Way. With the BRESSER Messier NT-203 Telescope, you can observe the remnants of exploded giant stars and the birthplaces of new stars. During the day, you can safely observe sunspots, eclipses, and planetary transits with the secure solar filter. (Warning: Never point the telescope at the sun without a solar filter!) Let yourself be surprised by the wonders of the universe with this exceptionally large device! The Mount The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo Mount is equipped with a modern and highly precise GoTo control system.

EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Ultra Light Dobsonian 406mm GENERATION II
Ultra Light Dobsonian 406mm GENERATION II - with completely redesigned and improved construction. No telescope type has influenced amateur astronomy as radically as the dobsonian telescope. Before the introduction of this telescope type by John Dobson the vast majority of amateur telescopes were small inadequate refractors on shaky mounts - just good enough to show the polar regions on mars or the rings of Saturn. Bigger telescopes, like the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, were restricted to the relatively small group of amateurs that could afford them.The brilliant combination of simple - but effective - mechanics and the largest aperture available led to a worldwide triumph of this concept. No other telescope type offers you so much light for your money as a good dobson. We have taken the motto "held together by gravity and driven by yoghurt power" and offer a modern version of the classic - designed by amateur astronomers for amateur astronomers. Despite its large aperture the telescope can be transported easily even in small cars and is assembled within minutes without tools. The construction was optimized for maximum rigidity with a minimum of mass. The combination of big altitude wheels and a optimized aluminium-sandwich construction allows for small movements even at high magnifications. The focus position is already positioned to accept our coma-corrector. The ideal workhorse for the deep-sky enthusiast. A telescope with 406mm aperture gathers more than 3300-times more light than the naked eye. Details on planetary surfaces stand out even to unexperienced observers, and countless deep-sky objects show details. Bright globular clusters are resolved down to the core and the view of the lunar terminator will provide a unforgettable experience.
