Product information "BRESSER Messier NT150L/1200 EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo Telescope Set"

This set, consisting of the MESSIER NT-150L/1200 telescope and the EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo mount, combines sharp images with precise tracking and easy sky navigation. With the 150 mm aperture, the telescope allows impressive views of nebulae, galaxies, and other fascinating celestial objects. The long focal length of 1,200 mm also reveals many exciting details on the planets. Additionally, thanks to the high-quality solar filter, you can safely admire our own star. The modern mount, with its precise GoTo control and user-friendly ExploreStars app, provides the ideal foundation for your visual observations and advanced astrophotography.

The Telescope

High stability and razor-sharp optics are the hallmarks of the MESSIER NT-150 telescope. The 150 mm aperture allows you to observe even smaller nebulae in the vastness of space. Discover the remnants of a massive star explosion from the year 1054 in the Taurus constellation, or trace the bright filaments of the Great Orion Nebula. Spot the famous Pinwheel Galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major, or find the Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula. With the high-quality objective solar filter, the telescope is also perfect for the safe observation of sunspots, eclipses, and planetary transits.

The Mount

The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo mount features a modern and very precise GoTo control. It consists of a robust Wi-Fi controller unit, which provides all the necessary interfaces. The NEMA-11 stepper motors are directly connected to this unit via cable, and an ST-4-compatible autoguider interface is also available. Additionally, the control system supports micro-stepping to ensure precise tracking.

Intuitive operation via app and graphical star map

The specially developed ExploreStars app for the PMC-Eight system impresses with a visually appealing and intuitive user interface. The currently available alignment stars for initializing the control, as well as all celestial objects from the database, are displayed as a star map with additional text information. All these objects can be easily viewed and selected.

Powerful controller unit with Open GoTo for customization

At the heart of the controller unit is a fully self-sufficient 2-channel multi-processor with 8 CPUs and a Wi-Fi Ethernet 10/100 adapter with IP function. This enables remote operation via browser, ASCOM, app, or serial connection. The Open GoTo also allows custom firmware to be written and uploaded to the controller unit. This enables individual customization of device functions and the creation of custom object lists.

Polar finder included

The pre-installed polar finder scope included in the package allows for quick and precise polar alignment and long exposure times without unwanted star trailing. The integrated LED lighting unit further enhances the usability of the polar finder.

BRESSER JUNIOR Astro Planetarium
The BRESSER JUNIOR Astro Planetarium quickly transforms your ceiling into a starry sky. And then it’s time for you to go exploring: This home planetarium projects over 8,000 stars and 61 named constellations using 2 projection discs and a bright LED, bringing the universe into your home. Ever curious about the constellations visible on your birthday? Why not have a look? Just set the date and a time between 8 PM and 2 AM, because during this time there will always be stars in the sky. Then just switch on the children's planetarium and the night sky of your birthday lights up above you. For the best experience, maintain a 2-meter distance from the ceiling. This allows the projection to cover a substantial area of approximately 1.6 x 2.1 metres. A focusing wheel ensures the celestial display is crystal clear. This is not just for special occasions like Christmas or birthdays; it's a year-round gateway to the stars. Use the star projector to enjoy the night sky indoors If you've ever used a telescope, the most crucial tool for stargazers, you know that clear skies are essential. Cloudy skies can obscure your view of the heavenly bodies. With this home planetarium, however, weather is no impediment. Rain or snow, your exploration of astronomy continues indoors. Thanks to its built-in motor, the projected sky rotates automatically. A counter-clockwise rotation mimics the natural movement of the northern hemisphere, while a clockwise rotation aligns with the southern hemisphere's pattern. Choose from 6 speed settings to tailor your experience. The shooting star mode adds a dash of magic, bringing meteor trails across your ceiling. Drift off to sleep under the stars There's something incredibly soothing about falling asleep under a starlit sky. The sleep mode turns off the home planetarium automatically after 30 or 60 minutes. For longer enjoyment, let it run normally, and it will switch off after 2 hours to conserve energy. You'll likely be deep in dreams of cosmic adventures by then. Turn your home into a place for celestial explorations with the BRESSER JUNIOR Astro Planetarium. FEATURESStar projector suitable for children aged 14 and up Shooting star function Automatic shut-off (after 30, 60, or 120 minutes) Projection area of 1.6 x 2.1 metres (at a 2-metre distance) 1 bright, white LED Motion-enabled projection through dual motors offering 6 speeds Focusing wheel for clear images Night sky simulation on walls or ceilings, adjustable for specific dates and times More than 8,000 celestial bodies and 61 constellations on 2 projection discs Maximum projection distance: 3 metres SCOPE OF DELIVERYAstro planetarium 2x projection discs 3x AA batteries Instruction manual
