Bresser Optik Messier AR-102s/600 Hexafoc EXOS-2 Refractor Equatorial Achromatic Magnification 15 up to 204 x

The telescope consists of a refracting telescope (refractor) and an equatorial mount including stand. The Optics has a free opening of 102 mm with a focal length of 600 mm and thus an opening cyclic ratio of f/5.9.
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 6 x 30 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 6 x 30 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 an illuminated 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-102S on EXOS-2 offers the ambitious amateur astronomers a good design with very stable universal mount. The 102 mm telescopic opening are well suited for detailed observations on the moon and the planets of our solar system. In addition collects the telescopic light enough to continue to look in the night sky. Star clusters or a wide variety of fog a dark sky. With a total weight of about 18 kilograms of which of these three parts (tube, mounting with counterweight, tripod), the telescope is best suitable for applications outside the bright cities. Only then can the look of full power.
