BRESSER Messier MC-100/1400 EQ3 telescope smart phone adapter and solar filter

Take your first steps into the wonderful world of astronomy - with this complete set, which includes an astronomical Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with an aperture of 100 mm and a focal length of 1400 mm, an equatorial EQ-3 stand and many accessories. The special feature of this telescope: Thanks to the high contrast, you can start looking for the stars anywhere - even in the middle of a brightly lit city. The extremely compact telescope takes up very little space on the balcony, terrace and similar places. The telescope is easy to use, so it is also perfect for beginners. The optics, in particular, show the moon and planets the best. It is ideal for all amateur astronomers who like to travel: thanks to its compact design, the telescope is also perfectly suited as a traveling telescope.

Powerful optics with a long focal length, very compact design for easy transport - this is what Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes offer. The optics combine mirrors and lenses with very good imaging properties. With an aperture of 100 mm, the BRESSER Messier MC-100/1400 already collects a lot of light and offers good resolution. Thanks to the extremely high F/14 light value resulting from the 100 mm aperture and the 1400 mm focal length, you can enjoy a very sharp image with excellent contrast. This means that the telescope is an absolute specialist in exploring the Moon, Sun and planets. But you can also expect to observe many deep-sky objects through your telescope. Admire open star clusters, globular clusters and so-called planetary nebulae, such as the stunning M27 Dumbbell Nebula.

Really sharp images with up to 200x magnification – no problem thanks to the 100mm aperture resolution! From a purely technical point of view, even more is possible in terms of magnification. However, increasing magnification often results in a loss of image sharpness. Also, the telescope is not the only factor when it comes to how much magnification you can achieve. Air turbulence in the atmosphere (visibility conditions) also plays an important role.

The eyepiece in the astronomical kit is also impressive. The 26 mm Plössl eyepiece offers 54x magnification and very good imaging properties. Since the 31.7 mm (1.25 inch) eyepiece diameter meets all manufacturers' international standards, you can easily expand your astronomy starter kit with additional eyepieces. So you can admire your favorite sights in a different magnification. The 90 degree diagonal mirror is especially useful when the telescope is facing vertically towards the sky. It allows you to comfortably look into the telescope from the side, even from an unfavorable viewing angle.
