Introducing the BRESSER Messier MC-152/1900 Hexafoc EXOS-2 GOTO

Now Available: Includes a high-quality aperture solar filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses, and planet transits. This telescope is perfect for both night and solar observation.

The BRESSER Messier MC-152 stands out due to its sturdy construction and compact optics. Its long focal length allows for relaxed, high-magnification observations, while its compact size makes it an excellent portable telescope. With a 152 mm aperture, you can observe bright nebulas in deep space, including remnants of stellar explosions like the Crab Nebula in Taurus or the glowing bands of the Orion Nebula.

The high rigidity of the EXOS-2 mount is ideal for those making their first attempts at astrophotography.
