Product Information

The BRESSER Messier NT-130/1000 EXOS-2 GoTo Telescope is now available with a high-quality aperture solar filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses, and planet transits. This telescope is excellent for both night and solar observation.

If you seek a high-performing telescope offering substantial light intake, the Messier NT-130 is ideal. With a 130 mm aperture, it provides 30% more light than typical 114 mm reflectors in its price range. The lightweight, portable mount and superior optics deliver an image free from colour aberrations. This makes it perfect for planetary observation and exploring objects beyond our solar system. Enjoy viewing bright stars such as Albireo in the constellation Cygnus or the double-double Epsilon Lyrae in Lyra. The compact design ensures ease of use and swift, efficient performance.

Note: Newtonian reflector telescopes like this are excellent for astronomical viewing but are not suitable for landscape and nature observation during daylight. For such purposes, we recommend BRESSER refractor (lens) telescopes.
