Product information "BRESSER Messier NT203L/1200 EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo Telescope Set"

An excellent set for exciting planetary and deep-sky observations: the high-quality BRESSER Messier NT-203/1200 Telescope with the modern EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo Mount. The optics impress with the long focal length and very low obstruction, providing an impressively sharp and high-contrast image. This reveals numerous exciting details on Jupiter and Mars. More distant objects like emission nebulae and galaxies also show their structures. The GoTo mount, with its user-friendly ExploreStars App, quickly locates celestial objects and tracks them precisely. During the day, the Sun’s view with the included solar filter is equally fascinating.

The Telescope

The BRESSER Messier NT-203/1200 Telescope enables observations that were impossible at this price range a few years ago. Thanks to its longer focal length and minimal obstruction, it provides better sharpness and higher contrast for planetary observation. Modern manufacturing technology allows you to track the shadow of Jupiter's moons on the planet itself; the abundance of structures and details on the surface of Jupiter is breathtaking.

This reflector telescope excels not only in 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 Messier NT-203/1200, observe the remnants of exploded giant stars and witness the birthplaces of new stars. With the included solar filter, you can explore the Sun during the day and safely observe sunspots, eclipses, or planetary transits. (Warning: Never point the telescope at the Sun without the solar filter!)
Be amazed by the wonders of the universe with this exceptionally large device!

The Mount

The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo Mount features a modern and highly precise GoTo control system. It consists of a robust Wi-Fi controller unit that provides all the necessary interfaces. The NEMA-11 stepper motors are directly connected to this unit via cable, and there is also a ST-4 compatible autoguider port. Additionally, the control system supports micro-step operation to ensure precise tracking.

Intuitive operation via app and graphical star map
The ExploreStars app, developed specifically for the PMC-Eight system, impresses with its well-designed and intuitive graphical interface. The current alignment stars for control initialization and all the celestial objects in 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 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. With Open GoTo, custom firmware can also be written and uploaded to the controller unit, enabling individual customization of device functions and the creation of your own object lists, etc.

Polar finder included
The pre-installed polar finder scope enables quick and precise polar alignment, allowing for long exposure times without unwanted star trails. The integrated LED lighting unit further enhances the comfort of using the polar finder.

BRESSER LER Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm 1.25''
One eyepiece for every occasion The BRESSER zoom eyepiece covers the large focal length range from 8 to 24 mm. These are also the focal lengths most frequently used with most telescopes. Especially for instant observations, where you don't want to pack a whole suitcase full of eyepieces, the zoom eyepiece is a good choice. Always the ideal magnification on hand A quick turn and the ideal magnification for you is set. The adjustment is stepless from 8 to 24 mm focal length. This eliminates the need to always change eyepieces. Comfortable viewing The BRESSER zoom eyepiece offers a large comfortable eye relief of 20 mm to the eyepiece lens (LER = long eye relief). This means comfortable viewing even during longer observation, an important criterion especially for people with glasses. The rubber eyecup can also be individually adjusted by a twist and turn movement. Apparent field of view is 40 up to 56 degrees which offers a good overview. Advanced optical design To achieve the best possible image over the entire focal length range, a sophisticated optical design with 8 lenses in 5 groups is used. The full multi-coating on all lens surfaces also guarantees maximum light transmission. To effectively suppress unwanted reflections, all lenses are carefully blackened at the edges. Thus, the image produced offers the maximum possible contrast and image brightness. Compact and solid design The BRESSER zoom eyepiece is made entirely of black anodised aluminium. It has an extremely solid and high-quality material appearance and is long-lived even with extensive use. The precise zoom mechanism can be operated safely through the ribbed metal adjustment ring. A white laser engraving with focal length and pointer arrow indicates the currently set focal length even in low light.

EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 1.25" O-III Nebula Filter
One of the most important obstacles for the exploration of the night sky is the brightening of the night sky by artificial lights, such as streetlights. The night sky is not really dark in the vicinity of towns or cities, which reduces the visibility of objects beyond the solar systems enourmously. Depending on the type of the celestial object it is possible to increase the contrast dramatically by blocking the annoying artifical light. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC O-III filter uses a characteristic property of the so called emmission nebulae. Those objekcts glow in special colors, the so called emmission lines. Those emmission lines are linked to chemical elements - in this case oxygen. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC O-III nebula filter blocks all other colors (and thereby nearly all of the artificial light) and only the two emmission lines of the oxygen can pass the filter. The result is astonoishing: suddenly nebulae are visible at locations that were completely empty without filters. In suburbian skies for example the veil nebula NGC 6992 is almost not visible with a 200mm telescope. By using this filter you can see the nebula and its structures without problems. A must for every visual observer. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC nebula filters come with a individual test certificate - your guarantee to receive a premium filter.FEATURESenables the observation of so called emmission nebulaeblocks almost the entire artificial lightonly the two emmission lines of the oxygen passes the filterSCOPE OF DELIVERY1x 1,25" O-III nebula filter
