Bresser

Optical Design Types:

AR: Achromatic Refractor

MC: Maksutov-Cassegrain

NT: Newtonian Telescope

AC: Apochromatic Telescope

Aperture:

The number following the design type (e.g., 127 in AR-127S) indicates the aperture size in millimeters, representing the telescope’s light-gathering capability.

Focal Length:

The number after the slash (e.g., 635 in AR-127S/635) refers to the focal length in millimeters, which impacts magnification and field of view.

Additional Designations:

S or L after the aperture indicates shorter (S) or longer (L) focal length versions.

XS: A shorter tube, making the telescope more portable for wide-field viewing.

Bresser offers a wide range of telescopes, including Achromatic Refractors (AR) for beginner stargazing, Maksutov-Cassegrain (MC) models known for their compact design and high magnification, Newtonian Reflectors (NT) ideal for deep-sky observations, and Apochromatic Refractors (AC) designed for professional-level astrophotography. Whether you’re looking for a beginner's telescope or an advanced optical system, Bresser has a model to fit your needs.

For beginners, the Bresser AR-80/640 Refractor or the Bresser MCX-102 GoTo Maksutov-Cassegrain are highly recommended. These models are easy to set up, provide excellent image quality, and often include user-friendly features like automated tracking systems (GoTo) to help locate celestial objects easily. They’re perfect for amateur astronomers looking to explore the night sky without a steep learning curve.

Refractor telescopes, like the Bresser AR series, use lenses to gather light and are typically easier to maintain, making them ideal for beginners. Reflector telescopes, like the Bresser NT series, use mirrors and are more suited for deep-sky observations, offering larger apertures for a lower cost. Choosing between them depends on your observation goals—refractors are better for planets and the moon, while reflectors excel at viewing galaxies and nebulae.

Yes, many Bresser telescopes come with advanced GoTo automated tracking systems, such as the Bresser MCX-127 GoTo Maksutov-Cassegrain. These computerized systems allow the telescope to automatically find and track celestial objects, making it easier for users to explore the night sky without manual adjustments. This feature is particularly useful for beginner astronomers or those interested in astrophotography.

Bresser offers a wide variety of compatible accessories to enhance your stargazing experience. These include eyepieces for enhanced magnification, Bresser solar filters for safe sun observation, and smartphone adapters to capture photos through your telescope. Many models also support additional mounts and computerized tracking systems to improve precision and ease of use.
