Product Description

Overview

Discover the cosmos with the BRESSER Messier NT-150L/1200 Hexafoc EXOS-2 GoTo Telescope. This Newtonian telescope features sharp optics and high rigidity, making it perfect for both novice astronomers and seasoned stargazers. Now including a high-quality aperture solar filter, this telescope allows for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses, and planetary transits.

Stellar Observations

The 150 mm aperture offers a window into deep space, enabling you to observe bright nebulae, stellar remnants, and galaxies. Whether you're examining the remnants of a stellar explosion in the Taurean constellation or scanning the bands of the Orion Nebula, this telescope offers extraordinary clarity. The sturdy EXOS-2 mount provides stable observations and is ideal for beginners in astrophotography.

Limitations

Reflector telescopes with a Newtonian design are excellent for observing the night sky but are not suitable for landscape or daytime nature observations. For those purposes, we recommend BRESSER refractor telescopes.
