Perfect for ambitious planetary observers: the set consists of the BRESSER Messier AR-152L/1200 Telescope and the modern EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo Mount. With the large aperture and long focal length of 1200 mm, the high-quality optics deliver razor-sharp, high-contrast images that impress with every observation. The telescope is especially suitable for detailed views of Mars, Jupiter, and other celestial bodies. You can also explore the sun using the included objective filter. The mount is equipped with a precise GoTo control and is very easy to use with the intuitive ExploreStars App. Thanks to the extremely accurate tracking, the selected celestial object is guaranteed to always stay in the field of view.

_x000D_ The Telescope
_x000D_
_x000D_ For demanding planetary observers, the BRESSER Messier AR-152L is the dream device. Discover structures in Jupiter’s cloud bands, the finest grooves and craters on the moon’s surface, and structures on Mars, including the ice-covered polar caps of our neighboring planet! Observe the dance of Jupiter’s moons around the planet and discover the greenish glow of Uranus far beyond Saturn’s orbit. The combination of large aperture and long focal length enables sharp, high-contrast images that will impress you every time. And with the high-quality objective solar filter, you can also safely observe our own star. (Caution: Never point the telescope at the sun without a solar filter!)

_x000D_ The Mount
_x000D_
_x000D_ 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 the necessary interfaces. The NEMA-11 stepper motors are directly connected to this unit via cable, and an ST-4 compatible autoguider interface is also available. In addition, the control system supports micro-stepping to ensure precise tracking.

_x000D_ Intuitive operation via app and graphical star chart
_x000D_ The ExploreStars App, developed specifically for the PMC-Eight system, impresses with a very well-designed, intuitive user interface. The currently available alignment stars for initializing the control system, as well as all celestial objects in the database, are displayed as a star chart with additional text information. All these objects can be easily viewed and selected.
_x000D_
_x000D_ Powerful controller unit with Open GoTo for customization
_x000D_ The heart of the controller unit consists of a completely autonomous 2-channel multi-processor with 8 CPUs and a Wi-Fi Ethernet 10/100 adapter with IP function. This allows remote operation via browser, ASCOM, app, or serial connection. The Open GoTo also allows you to write your own firmware and upload it to the controller unit. This enables custom adjustments to the device’s functions as well as the creation of custom object lists, etc.
_x000D_
_x000D_ Polar finder included
_x000D_ The included and pre-installed polar finder scope allows for quick and precise alignment and long exposure times without unwanted star trails. The integrated LED lighting unit further enhances the comfort of using the polar finder.
