Telescope, BRESSER Messier MC-100/1400 EXOS-2, with aperture Solar-filter

NEW – now including a high-quality aperture Solar-filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night and solar observation.

The BRESSER Messier MC-100 telescope excels with high rigidity and tack-sharp optics. The 100mm aperture enables you to observe small bright nebulas, globular clusters, the moon, planets and a lot more in the depth of space. The high rigidity of the EXOS-2 mount allows for relaxed observations and is helpful for those making their first attempts at astrophotography.

The telescope is perfect for observing the moon and the planets with high magnifications. The EXOS-2 mount with flexible shafts provides an optimal basis to make the observing as easy as possible.
