Bresser Optik AR-152S/760 Hexafoc EXOS-2/EQ5 Refractor Equatorial Achromatic Magnification 22 up to 304 x

The telescope consists of a refracting telescope (refractor) and an equatorial mount including stand. The Optics has a free opening of 152 mm with a focal length of 760 mm and thus an opening ratio of F5. The refractor has many extras such as, for example, pipe clamps with carrying handle and integrated camera bracket, 31.7 mm (1.25") Zenith mirror or 8 x 50 viewfinder. At the equatorial (also called parallaktisch) EXOS-2 mount is an axis on the Polarstern. The management of a celestial object only one axis can be moved, which greatly simplifies the vis-à-vis Monti stake, which have only left/right and up/down axes (Azimuthal mounting). With the included 8 x 50 viewfinder, the celestial objects to be found easily. The viewfinder also has a crosshair around in the dark even easier to monitor. The Mount also has a polar alignment aid of the orientation toward north extremely simplified. By means of two flexible shaft connected with the mechanical fine operation can be set precisely the objects in the ocular and after. The stable steel-pipe stand is continuously adjustable in height and thus guarantees a comfortable observer position.

Application:
The Messier AR-152 on EXOS-2 offers the ambitious amateur astronomers a good design with sturdy universal mount. 152 mm telescopic opening and the small focal length are perfectly suitable for large objects like open star clusters and large fog. For detailed observations on the moon and the planets of our solar system, it is recommended additional eyepieces and/or a Barlow lens to the focal length magnification. With a total weight of about 31 kilograms of which of these three parts (tube, mount with counterweights, Stand) is the telescope is still good for calls outside of the bright cities. Only then can the look of full power.
