Bresser Messier Newtonian NT-203/1200 on equatorial Exos-2 GoTo Mount

The BRESSER Messier NT-203/1200 enables observations, which were not feasible in this price range only a few years ago. This Messier NT203/1200 is optimized for planetary observations because of the longer focal length and less obruction which offers a better sharpness and contrast. The most advanced manufacturing technology allows to follow the shadows of the moons of Jupiter on the planet itself ; the abundance of structures and details on the surface of Jupiter are stunning.

The BRESSER Messier NT-203/1200 can not only score in the planetary observation: Discover structures in distant galaxies and let yourself be captivated by the fog patches of the emission nebula in the vastness of the Milky Way. See the remains of exploded giant stars the Messier NT-203/1200 and observe the birthplaces of the new star. You will be surprised of the beauties of the universe with this larger than average device!

NEW - now including a high-quality aperture solar filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night and solar observation.

Please note: Reflectors with optical design according to Newton are very good for astronomical observing at the starry night sky. But these telescopes are not well usable for observing landscape and nature during daylight. Therefore we suggest refractive (lens) telescopes for landscape and nature observing.
