Pluto

Pluto/s auf T

Das Bresser Pluto/s habe ich vor gut zwei Jahren gekauft, um meinen Kindern Sonne, Mond und Sterne zu zeigen. Ich hatte mich zwar ganz allgemein schon etwas für Astronomie und Raumfahrt interessiert, aber von Teleskopen hatte ich keine Ahnung. Das Bresser Pluto/s als Newtonteleskop habe ich ausgewählt, da „Spiegelteleskop“ sich für mich nach Hubble und damit „wissenschaftlich“ anhörte. Außerdem machte es für den Preis einen stabilen Eindruck und hatte, meiner Meinung nach, eine Ausstattung, mit der man gleich loslegen konnte.

Dinge wie Krater auf dem Mond, Jupitermonde, Venusphasen oder die Saturnringe vor den eigenen Augen zu haben, ist auch für Kinder ein anderes Erlebnis, als sie nur am Bildschirm oder in einer Zeitschrift zu sehen. Und das macht das mitgelieferte Zubehör, wie z.B. mehrere Okulare, schon möglich. Auch die Andromedagalaxie, die visuell oft kaum oder nur verwaschen sichtbar ist, sieht man durch die gute Lichtstärke (f/4,4) des Pluto/s schon als deutlichen Nebel.

Der größte Nachteil bei der Himmelsbeobachtung war - nein nichts am Pluto - sondern das Wetter. Leider hält sich unser mitteleuropäisches Wetter nicht immer an Wochenenden, Ferien oder die spontane Idee von Kindern mal eben im Teleskop den Orionnebel anzuschauen. Daher kam bei mir bald die Idee auf, das was man durch’s Teleskop sehen kann, aufzunehmen, damit man es später wieder anschauen und zeigen kann (z.B. am nächsten Morgen, weil die Kinder ins Bett müßen). Das wäre ja dann auch irgendwie „selbst gemacht“.

Deshalb kaufte ich mir vor ca. einem Jahr zusätzlich eine sogenannte Mond- und Planetenkamera. Über die 1,25“-Steckhülse war die Anpassung an den Okularauszug und die Fokussierung kein Problem. Der Okularauszug hat sogar genügend Backfokus um mit einer Reduzierlinse die Brennweite auf das 0,63-fache zu reduzieren. Dies, hatte ich gelernt, ist hilfreich, um z.B. den Vollmond oder die Sonne ganz auf den kleinen Chip einer Planetenkamera zu bekommen.

Erste Versuche waren, nun ja, ernüchternd. Trotz bester Versuche zu fokussieren, waren meine Aufnahmen flau und verwaschen. Ein Newtonspiegelteleskop soll man, so hatte ich gelesen, von Zeit zu Zeit rejustieren, besonders wenn man etwas rauer damit umgeht und es oft bewegt. Das Pluto ist über Justierschrauben an Haupt- und Fangspiegel voll justierbar, was nicht bei allen Spiegelteleskopen in der gleichen Preisklasse der Fall ist. Mit einem kleinen Justierlaser, den ich mir kaufte und etwas Anleitung aus dem Internet hatte ich das dann auch gut hinbekommen. Die nächste Aufnahmen waren besser und ich hatte jetzt Blut für die Astrofotografie geleckt.

Hier hat es sich als Vorteil erwiesen, daß das Pluto mit parallaktischer Montierung ausgeliefert wird . Die EQ-Sky-Montierung, die mit dem Pluto angeboten wird, ist meiner Meinung nach deutlich stabiler als die EQ-1, die bei anderen Spiegelteleskopen der gleichen Größenklasse mitkommt. Sie hat z.B. in der DEC-Achse ein Schneckenrad mit dem das Teleskop auch um diese Achse um ganze 360° gedreht werden kann. Und auch das Verstellen der Achsen zum genauen Einnorden- wenn man es für Fotografie denn braucht - ist zwar noch nicht optimal, aber doch deutlich besser als bei einer EQ-1. Die Montierung ist mit dem Pluto/s nicht überfordert und hat noch Spielraum für Zubehör.

Ein Nachführmotor für die RA-Achse ist relativ einfach an die Montierung anzubringen und erleichtert nicht nur das visuelle Beobachten, sowie Mond-, Sonnen- und Planetenaufnahmen, sondern macht meiner Erfahrung nach auch erste Aufnahmen von nicht zu dunklen Deep-Sky-Objekten möglich, wenn man die Belichtungszeit der Einzelaufnahmen in Grenzen halten kann (z.B. Orionnebel, Kugelsternhaufen). Die hohe Lichtstärke des Pluto ist hier wieder von Vorteil. Man muß sich aber bewusst sein, daß der Nachführmotor und die Montierung nicht mit Astrofotografie im Sinn gemacht wurden.

Um fotografisch die Grenzen noch etwas zu erweitern, habe ich das Stativ auf eine Art T aus Baulatten mit höhenverstellbaren Möbelfüßen gesetzt. Damit steht das Stativ schön stabil und kann einfach nivelliert werden. Die Plastikzahnstange des Okularauszuges des Pluto hat sich leider schnell abgenutzt, so daß ich die Idee hatte Innen- und Außenteil des Okularauszugs zu kürzen und wieder ineinander zu verkleben. Dies dient jetzt als Aufnahme für eine 1,25“-Steckhülse mit T2-Anschluß. Daran kann jedwedes T2-Zubehör angeschlossen werden, darunter z.B. ein nichtdrehender T2-Helikalauszug mit dem z.B. Astrokameras mit T2-Gewinde sehr gut fokussiert werden können.

Nach der Modifizierung des OAZ bin ich beim Nachmessen der Fokuslage darauf gekommen, daß der Backfokus groß genug sein müsste, um mit einem kurzbauenden T2-Adapter und dem T2-Helikalauszug auch eine DSLR anzuschließen. Dies ist natürlich meilenweit von der ursprünglich vorgesehenen Anwendung des Pluto/s entfernt, aber nur Versuch macht kluch. Und da die Verwendung eines Komakorrektors für den größeren Sensor einer DSLR nicht in Frage kam, habe ich wenigsten den Spiegel des Pluto auf F/6,25 mit einer einfachen schwarzen Pappscheibe abgeblendet um die Koma in den Ecken etwas in Schach zu halten - auf Kosten einer längeren Belichtungszeit. Um längere Deep-Sky-Bilder zu machen, habe ich die EQ-Sky auf Erholung geschickt und das Pluto/s auf einer EQ-5 mit Leitrohr befestigt. Mit der Standard-Prismenschiene des Pluto war auch das kein Problem.

Getestet habe ich am Orionnebel M42/M43 , an den Plejaden und an der Gegend um Alnitak mit dem Pferdekopfnebel mit Einzelaufnahmen bis zu 90sec und Gesamtbelichtungszeiten von jeweils über einer Stunde. Die DSLR war eine unmodifizierte Canon 1300D. Die Ergebnisse haben mich wieder angenehm überrascht, obwohl ich von „meinem“ Pluto/s schon einiges gewohnt war. Ja, in den Ecken sieht man noch Restkoma und wenn man genau hinschaut, sieht man, daß die DSLR leicht verkippt war – da hätte ich wohl sorgfältiger sein sollen. Aber mit einer leichten Beschneidung des Bildausschnitts und einer Verkleinerung der Auflösung sind Bilder entstanden, die ich so nicht von einem „visuellen Einsteigerkugelspiegel“ erwartet hätte.

Fazit

Als ich das Bresser Pluto/s gekauft habe, hatte ich nicht erwartet, daß das Teleskop mich soweit bringen und begleiten würde – erst recht nicht bis zur Deep-Sky-Fotografie mit einer DSLR. Das Pluto eignet sich gut, es etwas „aufzupeppen“. Es ist lichtstark, justierbar und kommt mit einer relativ stabilen Montierung daher. Das kompensiert zu einem großen Teil den etwas unschärferen Kugelspiegel. Bei ausgedehnteren Objekten fällt diese Unschärfe aber kaum auf.

Die volle Leistung des Pluto kommt nicht von selbst. Man muß sich damit auseinandersetzen und es pflegen. Wer sich aber mit dem Pluto beschäftigt und lernen will, für den ist es ein gutes, vielseitiges, ausbaubares Einsteigerteleskop zu einem günstigen Preis. Bei mir wird es einen speziellen Platz als mein erstes richtiges Teleskop haben, welches mich immer wieder mal angenehm überrascht hat.

Product information "BRESSER Pluto 114/500 EQ3 Reflector Telescope with Smartphone Adapter & Solar Filter"

Who doesn't dream of exploring the vastness of the universe with their own eyes? This complete telescope set comes with everything you need for your journey to open star clusters and distant emission nebulae: an astronomical reflecting telescope with 114 mm aperture and 500 mm focal length, an equatorial mount, a tripod and extensive accessories for astronomical observations. You can immediately start your very own adventure in astronomy, because the system is very easy to handle and transport. Especially wide-field observations in the Milky Way are a joy to watch through the beginner's telescope.

A classic for a start - the telescope 
With the classic reflector telescope, a so-called Newtonian reflector, you’ll achieve a successful start in sky observation. A special feature of this type of telescope is that you don’t look in at the back of the telescope, but at the side in the front. The advantage is the comfortable observation position. So you don't have to bend down when the entry-level telescope is pointed vertically into the sky. In terms of optics, these reflecting telescopes are impressive in that they are absolutely free of chromatic aberrations and offer good imaging properties

With its 114 mm aperture, the entry-level telescope already collects a lot of light from celestial objects. In addition, 114 mm aperture and 500 mm focal length result in a very short focal ratio (ratio of the aperture to the focal length) of about 1 to 4.4 (F/4.4). This causes the telescope to be very fast and to deliver an extremely bright image. The fast focal ratio and the short focal length cause the telescope to be a specialist for observing structures in the Milky Way and extended gas nebulae, for example the North America Nebula NGC 7000. This way a ''walk'' through the Milky Way with low magnification is simply a lot of fun. And you can choose the perfect place for it, because the entry-level telescope is very compact and therefore easily transported.

And how closely will you be able to look? The aperture of 114 mm offers a resolving power that allows magnifications of up to about 230x with sharp images. Technically, even higher magnifications are possible - theoretically up to 375x by using the included accessories. However, as the magnification increases, the sharpness of the image may slowly decrease. Of course, it is not only your telescope that determines how much you can magnify. The air turbulence in the atmosphere (seeing conditions) is also an important factor.

Note for nature lovers:
If you choose a Newtonian telescope like the Pluto reflector telescope, you can look forward to a specialist in astronomical observation. However, the image is always displayed sideways as well as upside down, which makes no difference when observing the sky. However, this type of telescope is less suitable for nature and landscape observations during the day. Would you also like to use your new telescope for exciting nature discoveries? Then we recommend that you choose one of the BRESSER refractor telescopes.

The perfect foundation for your astro-start - mount and tripod
Have you found the ideal location for your celestial observations? Then simply attach the telescope tube to the height-adjustable tripod with equatorial mount. It makes tracking particularly easy, because in contrast to an azimuthal mount, you do not need to move both axes at the same time. So you simply align one axis parallel to the Earth's axis by pointing it approximately at Polaris. This process is called ''alignment''. After that, you track your celestial bodies only on this one axis. Another plus of the mount are the two flexible shafts with fine adjustment. They make adjusting and tracking the beginner's telescope particularly precise and comfortable. Very handy: A storage plate mounted between the tripod legs allows easy access to your accessories.

Keep track of things automatically: For this telescope’s equatorial EQ-3 mount, the tracking motor with item number 4951400 is available as an optional accessory. This eliminates the need to manually track a celestial object set in the telescope. When this motor is installed at the mount, it automatically tracks the celestial object, keeping it in the field of view of the eyepiece. This makes observing the night sky even more comfortable!

Everything included - the accessories
Unpack, set up and start your journey of discovery across the night sky right away – for this purpose the astronomy set comes with all the necessary accessories. Get the perfect overview with the LED viewfinder. To do this, the viewfinder is simply installed parallel to the actual telescope. Turned on, it projects a red dot onto a small ground-glass screen. Look through it and it appears to hover in front of the night sky in exactly the direction in which you have aligned your entry-level telescope. Thus precise telescope alignment and finding celestial objects becomes child's play when you are using the LED viewfinder.

A larger field of view or more details? With the two eyepieces (4 mm and 20 mm) you can admire the objects in different magnifications. The 3x Barlow lens goes one better: it allows you to triple the magnification of the eyepieces.
But it doesn't have to stop there: If you ever want to expand your astronomy set, you can choose from a variety of additionally available eyepieces. After all, the socket diameter of 31.7 mm (1.25 inch) follows an international and manufacturer-independent standard.

Observe the star of our daytime sky completely safely – to this end a solar filter is included with the entry-level telescope. Take a closer look at the sunspots and marvel at the granulation on our very own star.
CAUTION: Never point the telescope at the Sun without the solar filter!

For quick snapshots of special discoveries, grab the smartphone camera adapter. This way you can delight yourself and your friends again and again with fascinating astrophotos, for example of the Moon or the Sun.

The contrast between the card and the lighter zones will enormously increase. This is truly helpful when you watch Jupiter or Saturn. Or for mars, watching the poles. BRESSER Filter Green (1,25):The green filter is to increase the contrasts enormously between the red and the blue regions of the cloud structures on the gas planets Jupiter and Saturn. Seeing our Earth Moon through the green filter, the contrasts of each ray crater become clearly more visible.BRESSER Filter Blue (1,25):The color of light blue really supports watching the high clouds on Mars. The contrast increases. The dark red structures will be shown even darker, so this is the perfect filter for watching the big red Flecks on the gas planet Jupiter. The rings of Saturn will be accentuated, the structures of the Venus Atmosphere will be even finer. BRESSER Filter Yellow (1,25):Watching the Moon surface through the filter, the contrasts will enormously increase. Same with planet Mars. On the huge planet Jupiter, when using the filter, you can even see the contrasts between the cloud-bands and a lot more details. Starting with a telescope diameter of 8“ and a clear sight, you even get to see various details of Saturn. What ist a color Filter for and do we really need it? Color Filters darken the light slightly, that reaches the eye or the sensor of the camera. This eliminates for instance stronger transitions. The result is that your picture turns out with more contrast which automatically shows more details. FEATURESVersatile colour filter set For eyepieces and accessories with 1.25" filter thread Increase contrast on moon and planets Making object details more visibleSCOPE OF DELIVERY4pcs color filter: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow

BRESSER Polaris-I 102/460 EQ3 Refractor Telescope with Smartphone Adapter & Solar Filter
The view of the night sky holds countless fascinating sights in store for us. The BRESSER Polaris-I 102/460 EQ3 lens telescope comes with everything you need for a quick and easy start in astronomy: an astronomical lens telescope with 102 mm aperture and 460 mm focal length, an equatorial mount, a tripod and a wide range of accessories. The system is extremely easy to handle - perfect for newcomers to the exciting hobby of astronomy. Moreover, due to its compact dimensions, the entry-level telescope is ideally suited as a travel telescope. So find the perfect observation site and enjoy an exciting ''walk'' through the Milky Way. Classic telescope for a new generation of stargazers – the telescope Children and beginners in particular benefit from the classic design of this lens telescope, which is also called an achromatic refractor according to Fraunhofer. This is mainly due to its easy handling – ideal for your fist steps in celestial observation. The entry-level telescope owes its good imaging properties to the optics’ modern, precise coating. The 102 mm aperture already collects a lot of light from the celestial objects. But it is due to the very short focal ratio (ratio of 102 mm aperture and 460 mm focal length) of about 1 to 4.5 (F/4.5) that you can enjoy an extra-bright image. Another advantage of the combination of short focal length and fast focal ratio: the beginner's telescope shows you the details in the Milky Way and extended gas nebulae such as the North America Nebula NGC 7000 particularly impressively. This makes a ''trip'' through the Milky Way with low magnification so much fun. However, the telescope will also give you a lot of pleasure while travelling on Earth, because it is very compact and thus perfect as a travel telescope. And what about the magnification? Here, too, the aperture of 102 mm shows its effect: It gives the telescope a resolving power that easily allows magnifications of up to about 200x with sharp images. From a purely technical point of view, this is by no means the limit – with the included accessories, you can theoretically magnify up to 345x. The image sharpness can slowly decrease with increasing magnification, though. However, the degree of magnification achievable does not only depend on your telescope. The air turbulence in the atmosphere (seeing conditions) also influences your astronomical observations. Set up, align, start marvelling – mount and tripod Found the perfect location for your observations? Then attach the telescope tube to the eight-adjustable aluminium tripod with equatorial mount and off you go. The special advantage of equatorial mounts: Unlike with an azimuthal mount, you don't need to move both axes at the same time. Instead, you align one axis parallel to the Earth's axis by pointing it approximately at the polar star. Then you simply track the movement of the celestial bodies just on this one axis. Because you move the axes via two flexible shafts with fine adjustment, you can adjust and track the beginner's telescope very precisely and comfortably. And for quick access to all your accessories, simply place them on the tray between the tripod legs.Keep track of things automatically: For this telescope’s equatorial EQ-3 mount, the tracking motor with item number 4951400 is available as an optional accessory. This eliminates the need to manually track a celestial object set in the telescope. When this motor is installed at the mount, it automatically tracks the celestial object, keeping it in the field of view of the eyepiece. This makes observing the night sky even more comfortable! Must-haves for star observation – the accessories In order for you to start stargazing right away, the astronomy set comes with many accessories. With the LED viewfinder, you can easily keep track of the sky. Just install the viewfinder parallel to the actual telescope and it projects a red dot onto a small ground-glass screen. When you look through it, this dot appears to be floating in front of the sky. Not just anywhere, but exactly at the point at which your telescope aperture is currently pointing. This allows you to align your telescope more precisely and find the celestial objects you have chosen for your night-time exploration much more easily. As with everything else, a change of perspective is always fun. Therefore, the two eyepieces (4 mm and 20 mm) allow you to view the objects in different magnifications – and thus enjoy completely different views. You want to see even more details? Then triple the magnification of the eyepieces with the 3x Barlow lens. The telescope for beginners is also flexible when it comes to upgrades: the diameter of the sockets is 31.7 mm (1.25 inches), which is an international standard that applies to all manufacturers. So you can choose from a large variety of additionally available eyepieces. In order for you to explore the universe with ease, the 90-degree star diagonal mirror always offers a comfortable view into the beginner’s telescope. Even if the telescope is pointed vertically upwards into the sky, you simply look in from the side – and just enjoy the view. But it is not only at night that the sky attracts our attention with spectacular highlights. In the daytime sky, our nearest star is particularly worth seeing. You can observe it completely safely using the solar filter. You will be amazed once you take a closer look at the sunspots and the granulation on the Sun. CAUTION: Never point the telescope at the Sun without the solar filter! Capture your favourite moments of sky observation. You can easily take your first steps in astrophotography by using the smartphone camera adapter – for impressive snapshots of the Sun and Moon, for example. Set off on your very own voyage of discovery to the Sun, Moon and through the Milky Way – with the BRESSER Polaris-I 102/460 EQ3 refractor telescope. FEATURES Telescope for beginners with 102 mm aperture and 460 mm focal length Achromatic refractor type Fraunhofer Ideal for observing the Milky Way and extended gas nebulae at low magnifications Height-adjustable tripod with equatorial EQ3 mount Easy to use, very good for beginners Focal ratio F/4.5, therefore very fast and bright image Very compact, therefore good as a travel telescope 50.8 mm (2 inch) focuser with adapter to 31.7 mm (1.25 inch) Two eyepieces and one Barlow lens with 31.7 mm (1.25 inch) sockets for different magnifications Safe solar observation with the included solar filter Entry into astrophotography with smartphone camera adapter SCOPE OF DELIVERY Lens telescope Aluminium tripod Equatorial EQ3 mount Eyepieces: 4 mm and 20 mm (1.25 inch sockets) Barlow lens 3x (1.25 inch socket) Star diagonal mirror LED illuminated dot finder Solar filter Smartphone camera adapter Accessory tray Astronomy software download Instruction manual
