Bresser 4702108 - Refractor Messier AR-102/1000 with EXOS-2

Ambitious beginners and advanced observers alike will see the brightest objects outside our solar system with the BRESSER MESSIER AR-102. Watch details in the Great Orion Nebula from the astonishing distance of 1500 lightyears (14.200.000.000.000.000 km)!

The rock-solid mount provides relaxed views even at high magnifications; rigidity and usability are setting new standards in this price range. Due to the sophisticated mount, you can even start taking pictures of the moon with this telescope; scanning the lunar terminator is simply a pleasure. You will never give the BRESSER MESSIER AR-102 away voluntarily.

Our customer Jean-Francois Pittet captured a great image with such an optics (different mount).

The Sol´Ex spectrograph developed by Christian Buil was used, here in the function as spectroheliograph. In contrast to normal solar filters for H-alpha, Calcium-K or Calcium-H, with a spectroheliograph one can select any wavelength and thus also spectral line within the possible range.

A monochrome CMOS camera was used to capture the image, and the software used was SharpCap (capture), INTI (SER video to image), and PaintShopPro (slight contrast adjustment). INTI was developed specifically for this application.
