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.
