Bresser Messier 6 Inch Dobsonian Telescope With Solar Filter

Bresser Messier 6 Inch Planetary Dobson Telescope – now including a high-quality aperture Solar-filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night-time and solar observation. The Bresser Messier 6 inch Planetary Dobson is something very special. Despite its low price, it offers a variety of functions and quality, which you sometimes look for in vain in considerably more expensive telescopes. With an aperture diameter of 150 mm and a focal length of 1200 mm the high quality Bresser Newtonian optics, observations of the Moon, the planets and planetary nebulae are particualrly impressive. Craters and rilles of the moon, as well as the ever-changing shadows cast by the terminator line between light and dark side of the lunar surface, are exciting targets to explore. Saturn with its impressive ring, Jupiter with its bands of clouds and the movement of its easily visible moons, the crescent shape of Venus and the glowing red Mars are good examples of what this telescope can be used to observe with ease. Because of the long basic focal length you can easily achieve the high magnifications required for this purpose with this telescope. You do not need expensive special eyepieces for this. In short, this is a telescope primarily for detailed high power visual observation. Nevertheless, bright deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula or the galaxies Messier 81 and 82 etc. can be observed as well. Also photography is no problem with this tube. Here is another strength of this telescope: if you want to take pictures, you can simply unscrew the altitude wheels from the tube and mount the telescope to a Equatorial mount, with an optionally available dovetail rail. The included eyepiece adapter has the common T2 connection thread (M42x0.75mm), to which almost every standard camera can be attached. Only the camera-specific T2 adapter ring is required as an additional purchase. Of course, also common USB planetary cameras with 1.25 inch or 2 inch diameters can also be used directly with this telescope. With the standard equipment you can observe with minimal set up time – an optical 6×30 viewfinder and a 25 mm SPL eyepiece are included. For those who want to transport the device as compact as possible, the new 6 inch Bresser Messier Planet Dobson makes it very easy – the rocker box can be disassembled in a few easy steps, because the parts are assembled with metal quick connectors. So a bulky rocker box quickly turns into a handy flat package. A telescope whose versatility, performance and user-friendliness set new standards in this price class.
