Product information "BRESSER Messier AR102/1000 EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo Telescope Set"
The BRESSER Messier AR102/1000 Telescope offers impressive possibilities for both ambitious beginners and advanced users in combination with the EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo mount for astronomical observation and photography. With optics featuring a 102 mm aperture and a 1,000 mm focal length, you can discover structures in the Orion Nebula, located about 1,500 light-years away. Enjoy clear views of the Moon, whose details can also be captured photographically with this instrument. The secure solar filter allows for safe solar observation. With the high-quality GoTo mount, you can also enjoy precise tracking and intuitive celestial navigation via app.
The Telescope
The Messier AR102 is a high-quality telescope for night and solar observation. Ambitious beginners and advanced users can already find the brightest objects beyond the solar system with this instrument. Discover structures in the Orion Nebula, an incredible 1,500 light-years (14,200,000,000,000 km) away!
With its high-quality mechanics, you can also take your own photos of the Moon. Tracking the light-dark boundary (terminator) on the Moon is a pleasure. The secure solar filter also allows for safe observation of our own star. The BRESSER Messier AR-102 is a telescope you'll never want to part with.
The Mount
The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo mount is equipped with a modern and very precise GoTo control system. It consists of a robust Wi-Fi controller unit that provides all necessary interfaces. The NEMA-11 stepper motors are connected directly to this unit via cable, and there is also an ST-4-compatible autoguider interface. The control system also supports micro-stepping to ensure precise tracking.
Intuitive operation via app and graphical star map
The ExploreStars app, specially developed for the PMC-Eight system, features a graphically pleasing and intuitive user interface. The available alignment stars for control initialization, as well as all celestial objects in the database, are displayed as a star map with additional text information. All these objects can be easily viewed and selected.
Powerful controller unit with Open GoTo for customization
At the heart of the controller unit is a fully autonomous 2-channel multi-processor with 8 CPUs and a Wi-Fi Ethernet 10/100 adapter with IP function. This enables remote operation via browser, ASCOM, app, or serial connection. The Open GoTo system also allows custom firmware to be written and loaded into the controller unit, enabling individual adjustments to device functions, as well as the creation of custom object lists, etc.
Polar finder included
The included pre-installed polar finder scope allows for quick and precise polar alignment, enabling long exposure times without unwanted star trails. The integrated LED illumination unit further enhances the usability of the polar finder.
