Product information "BRESSER Nebula 5 EQ/AZ Wifi-Network Mount"
The new BRESSER Nebula 5 EQ/AZ Wifi-Network Mount is a precise and quiet telescope mount – ideal for astrophotography. The controller box offers numerous central connectivity options for various accessories such as cameras, filter wheels, and motor focusers via USB (2.0/3.0), simplifying the setup of a professional astrophotography machine.
BRESSER has relied on innovation coupled with quality Made in Italy for this top-notch product. The manufacturer's long experience in mount construction guarantees a high-end device with first-class functionality and utmost reliability. Additionally, the in-house development team in Italy ensures quick response times in technical support and the adaptation of new device drivers. Truly, "Professionals at work!"
The mount is controlled via pre-installed web-app software, accessible via WIFI and Ethernet cable connection. The philosophy behind the Nebula GoTo system is to provide the user with a control system independent of a standard PC, which can be remotely controlled via a smart device such as a mobile phone or tablet. However, this does not exclude the traditional use of computers of all types and brands, which can be connected to the system either wired or wirelessly.
The BRESSER Nebula GoTo System Controller is a Raspberry Pi 4 microcomputer, which allows complete control of the setup (mount, camera, etc...) without the need for any other external device. The BRESSER Nebula GoTo system comes equipped with all Linux-based applications required for performing all astrophotographic functions.
The existing INDI environment allows for the control of almost all devices (cameras, filter wheels, rotators, etc., including observatory domes) needed for local or remote astrophotography sessions.
The system also offers high flexibility for users who prefer to use traditional computer client applications such as Cart du Ciel (Star Chart), TheSkyX, SkySafari, Stellarium, and other planetarium programs as well as SGP, Nina, CCD Ciel, and other astrophotography tools. This complete compatibility is ensured through the adoption of the Alpaca communication protocol, which allows for the use of traditional ASCOM platform drivers for native INDI devices.
State-of-the-art mount construction
The BRESSER Nebula mounts are CNC-manufactured from stainless steel and aluminium. The sleek and functional design is courtesy of a renowned Italian mount manufacturer, who has licensed the design and now manufactures these fine BRESSER products 100%. So, look forward to a stable yet easily portable mount, which despite its light weight of only 13 kg (incl. tripod), allows for a high load capacity of up to 20 kg.
Visual Observation
For visual observation and direct use, control the mount with the hand control box included in the package. Alternatively, connect the Nebula 5 via WLAN directly to your smartphone or tablet and use the virtual hand control box. Of course, all adjustment parameters can also be set via the web application. The user interface is deliberately simple and clear to ensure intuitive operation.
Astrophotography
Here, the Nebula mount shows its full strength. Whether mobile or stationary, the capability for remote operation is crucial. Connect your laptop or PC either via WLAN or with an Ethernet cable (recommended for faster data transmission) directly to the Raspberry-Pi control unit of the mount. Then use the pre-installed Kstars/EKOS software to control the mount and all external devices such as cameras, motor focus, filter wheel, etc. Alternatively, you can also directly control the unit with your own software. Applications such as Cart du Ciel (Star Chart), TheSkyX, SkySafari, Stellarium, and other planetarium programs as well as SGP, Nina, CCD Ciel, and other astrophotography tools can be used without any issues.
2-in-1 Mount with EQ and AZ Mode
If required, the Nebula can be switched from the equatorial mode to the azimuthal mode. This is particularly advantageous for observing nature or tracking satellites. Thus, the mount can be used for various applications and is not limited to astronomy.
Attachment of up to two optics
Would you like to adapt multiple optics? No problem. Simply use the option to replace the counterweight bar with another telescope. Use the second optic as a counterweight to the main telescope. Set the Nebula 5 to azimuthal mode, remove the counterweight bar, and screw a suitable second telescope clamp directly onto the mount.

BRESSER Messier NT203s/800 Optical Tube
£698.00*
NEW – now including a high-quality aperture Solar-filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night and solar observation.In the past few years the Bresser Newton telescopes have become the standard workhorse for Deep Sky astrophotography. We now proudly present the second generation of this telescope, the Bresser NT-203s/800 with Hexafoc and a fast parabolic main mirror. The Bresser NT-203s/800 f3.9 will deliver you deeper images due to its - compared to 8" f/5 systems - oversized primary mirror and therefore faster optical system with the same exposure time. The big 85 mm secondary prevents vignetting for optimal illumination The excellent 2.5" Hexafoc focuser also does not cause vignetting due to its large diameter and makes focussing a joy - the smoothness and shifting-free operation sets new standards in this price class. This groundbreaking focuser, tube rings with 44mm universal standard dovetail and camera mounting feature and a high-end finderscope with haircross and laser-engraved scale leave nothing to desire even for demanding astrophotographers. The NT-203s/800 Hexafoc has a classical tube construction with an aluminium tube. The focuser can be upgraded with a 10:1 reduction (part No. 0625720) without problems. Ready to use with the HR Coma Corrector (part No. 0510330) which eliminates coma, field-curvature and astigmatism.Please note: Reflector telescopes with optical design Newton are very good for astronomical observing at the starry night sky. But these telescopes are not well usable for observing landscape and nature during daylight. Therefore we suggest BRESSER refractor (lens) telescopes for landscape and nature observing.CHARCTERISTICS

EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC ED APO 102mm f/7 Alu FCD-100 Alu HEX
£1,869.00*
Highly corrected 102mm air-spaced triplet apochromat (with three lenses) and aluminium tube and a 2.5" high-precision HEXAFOC focuser. Apochromats are the ultimate choice in small to medium sized telescopes: the combination of compactness, transportability, very high image contrast and sharpness together with the possibility to make excellent astrophotos cannot be bested. The advances in glass manufacturing during the last few years have made true apochromats available to more astronomy enthusiasts than ever before. The new Explore Scientific FCD-100 Alu Hex represents another major improvement in this field - the overall correction (color and spherical) is setting new standards in this price class. The optical design shows a polystrehl value of 0,97 indicating a level of correction that is absolutely top of the line.This excellent apochromat is a very versatile telescope: the fast f-ratio makes short exposure times possible. The high contrast and sharpness of the image provide breathtaking views of large objects like the North america nebula or the Andromeda galaxy as well as tack sharp planetary images. The telescope is lightweight and compact - the dew shield slides down the tube to minimize size for transportation. Revolutionary glass and precision manufacturing created a telescope that offers observing joy on the highest level. This does not only qualify this telescope as the ideal travel scope, it is also the perfect choice for fast observations and for astrophotography. The excellent 2,5" HEXAFOC focuser with 10:1 reduction is perfect for this - the large inner diameter of 65mm prevents vignetting by the focuser when the telescope is used for astrophotography with large sensors.

BRESSER Nebula EXOS-2 EQ Goto Mount
£1,295.00*
Discover the possibilities and forge new paths with the Nebula EXOS-2 Goto Mount!Mount and TripodThe BRESSER EXOS-2 is a stable mount with a high load capacity and precise tracking for visual observations and astrophotography. Double radial groove ball bearings in both axes ensure precise, smooth motion, and the RA axis bearing has been optimized to reduce backlash. Additionally, the tripod is reinforced to further suppress vibrations. The BRESSER EXOS-2 can be loaded with up to 13 kg of optics for purely visual use depending on the length and purpose!Nebula: the powerful and flexible Goto systemWith the new Nebula Goto system, set off for new astronomical shores. This system offers several control options. You can operate the mount directly via its own Nebula control interface using your smartphone or tablet (iOS and Android supported). Alternatively, you can also use a planetarium software such as SkySafari. Manual control remains an option as well. For this, a hand box for minor corrections or simple control commands is included.Furthermore, with the BRESSER Nebula Goto Kit, you can connect your laptop or PC directly via WIFI or LAN cable (recommended for faster data transfer) to the Nebula control unit. This not only gives you full control over the mount but also allows you to connect various devices such as cameras, motor focus, filter wheels, etc. directly to the control unit via various USB ports. This eliminates the need to connect each device to your computer via cables. The pre-installed program KStars / EKOS lets you comfortably control all devices from your PC or laptop. Electronic polar alignment or guiding can also be easily achieved with the Goto Kit, provided you have a camera connected. You are also not limited to the software of the Nebula control unit. Thanks to the installed ASCOM Alpaca driver, you can use your own programs on your computer to control the mount - whether it's Stellarium or N.I.N.A. The two stepper motors with a belt drive ensure a smooth, direct drive of the two axes. It's only important to have a good balance.
