Bresser Messier AR-102xs/460 ED refractor OTA

The Bresser Messier AR-102xs/460 ED refractor is the perfect choice for those looking for an easy-to-carry, high-quality lens refractor. The ED lens element effectively reduces color aberration in bright binoculars, resulting in significantly better contrast than similar aperture acromatic refractors. The binoculars will also provide a fascinating view of Saturn's rings, Jupiter's cloud bands, its moons and the silvery shimmering lunar disk with its sea of craters. Small in size and light in weight, it's easy to take with you on family outings.

The Bresser Messier AR-102xs/460 ED refractor is a bright (F/4.5) telescope best recommended for small to medium magnifications. The scope comes with a 26 mm Super Plössl eyepiece for 17x magnification, which can be multiplied by using an optional Barlow lens. A 6x30 finder scope makes it easy to align the celestial bodies. The Zenith mirror included in the standard package is upright but gives a right-to-left image inverted. For nature observation, you can get a side-by-side image by purchasing an Amici prism. A prism rail, also standard, makes it easy to mount the binoculars on most equatorial or azimuthal tripods.

A special feature of the Bresser Messier AR-102xs/460 ED refractor is the 2.5" Hexafoc focusing ring, which allows for more precise focusing than the rack-and-pinion focusing rings common in this category. The manufacturer has also paid attention to protecting the accessories, as the focusing ring is fitted with a copper clamping ring. In addition to the 1.25" reflex mirror, the 26 mm Plössl eyepiece and the 6x30 viewfinder, a 2"/1.25" adapter with T2 end is also included.

The product also includes a factory-mounted solar foil for safe solar observation. The viewfinder telescope must be covered or mounted!
