Bresser Messier MCX-102 GoTo Telescope

The Messier MCX-102 telescope is your own small observatory with GoTo computer control. Easy to use, easy to transport and universally applicable. Observe the moon, planets, galaxies and nebulae through the tried and tested Bresser Maksutov-Cassegrain optics. The main features of this optics are a sharp and high-contrast image, as well as the very compact and closed design. Goto systems play an important role in the world of amateur astronomy as they ensure that users spend less time looking for specific objects and more time observing. The Bresser Messier GoTo control enables you to operate your telescope with the included computer hand controller. After entering the basic data such as date, time and location, at least 1 known reference star is approached and confirmed. You can then select your favorite objects from the many thousands of objects in the integrated database and have the MCX telescope automatically approach and track them. One of the outstanding features of the MCX telescopes is the very solid fork mount made of aluminium and the universal field tripod made of stainless steel. Both guarantee a safe support and the lowest possible amount of unwanted vibrations during observation. In addition, the drives in both axes are equipped with precision ball bearings and precise worm gears made of steel / brass. This ensures even and quiet tracking of the stars. When it comes to tracking the stars with a telescope or camera, there is nothing that can compare with the precision of a German equatorial or parallactic mount. It is important to follow the objects as closely as possible when they rise in the east and sink in the west. With a German equatorial / parallactic mount, it is very easy for observers to hold their heavenly object in the middle of the eyepiece for a longer period of time. This setup option (EQ mode) is already included in your new MCX telescope. The tripod head can be tilted accordingly and adjusted to the latitude of your location. You can quickly switch between these two types of installation (AZ / EQ) – without buying additional accessories. Use the included smartphone holder to adapt your smartphone camera directly behind the SPL26mm eyepiece or mount your camera on the M35 thread connection and take astro photos of the moon and planets. You will be amazed what this MCX telescope can do with little effort. The 90 degree folding mirror on the back of the telescope enables a quick and comfortable change between using an eyepiece or a camera.
