The Bresser Messier AR-152S/760 is an affordable but highly optical acromatic lens telescope for observing deep objects. The instrument "does" what a discerning amateur expects from a bright lens telescope: its large field of view is ideal for studying star clusters, nebulae or comets, but it also shows details of the Moon or planets beautifully.
With a diameter of 152 mm, the telescope is a compact and portable instrument. Its objective mount is collimating, which also puts it in a higher quality category. Its four-lens design (with a corrective lens element in front of the focusing eyepiece) offers better image quality than conventional two-lens models.
The scope comes with a 26 mm Super Plössl eyepiece, which provides a magnification of 29x, which can be multiplied by using an optional barlow lens. A reversed-position 8x50 finder telescope makes it easy to align celestial objects. The Zenith mirror included in the standard package is upright but gives a right-to-left inverted image. A Vixen prism rail, also supplied as standard, makes it easy to mount the scope on most equatorial or azimuthal tripods. There is a handle on the tube ring for secure handling and a standard screw for attaching a camera.
A special feature of the Bresser Messier AR-152S refractor is its 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 equipped with a copper clamping ring. In addition, the package includes two extension pieces for both visual and photographic focus. Also included is a 2.5"/2" adapter and a 2"/1.25" adapter with T2 end.
The product includes a factory-mounted solar foil for safe solar observation. The viewfinder telescope must be covered or mounted!
