BRESSER - Long focal length for high magnifications, featuring a precise GoTo mount with intuitive Wi-Fi app control

This telescope set of the Messier MC-127/1900 tube and EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo mount is ideal for beginners in astronomy! With its 1,900-mm focal length and 127-mm aperture, the compact telescope provides sharp planetary views at high magnifications. Discover fascinating details of distant planetary nebulae and star clusters. With the telescope tube’s short length, you can explore the night sky with ease. The modern mount, featuring precise GoTo control and a user-friendly ExploreStars app, ensures accurate tracking and effortless navigation across the sky. And with the high-quality solar filter, you can safely observe our own star.

The Telescope

The compact optics distinguish the Messier MC-127/1900. Its very long 1,900 mm focal length allows relaxed planetary observations at high magnifications. At the same time, the telescope is ideal for mobile use thanks to its short tube. The 127 mm aperture enables you to observe smaller planetary nebulae in the vastness of space. Marvel at the bright filaments of the famous Orion Nebula, or spot the Dumbbell Nebula in the constellation Vulpecula. With the high-quality solar filter, you can safely admire sunspots, eclipses, and planetary transits. (Warning: Never point the telescope at the sun without a solar filter.)

The Mount

The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo mount is equipped with a modern and highly precise GoTo control system. It consists of a robust Wi-Fi controller unit that provides all necessary interfaces. The NEMA-11 stepper motors connect directly to this unit by cable, and an ST-4-compatible autoguider interface is also available. Additionally, the control system supports micro-stepping for precise tracking.

Intuitive operation via app and graphic star map
The ExploreStars app, developed specifically for the PMC-Eight system, offers an attractive and intuitive user interface. The app displays the alignment stars available for initial setup and all celestial objects in the database as a star map with additional text information. All these objects can be conveniently viewed and selected.

Powerful controller unit with Open GoTo for customization
At the core 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 functionality. This setup enables remote operation via browser, ASCOM, app, or serial connection. Open GoTo allows you to write and load custom firmware into the controller, facilitating individual adjustments to device functions as well as creating custom object lists.

Polar finder included
The included, pre-mounted polar finder scope enables quick and precise alignment and allows for long exposure times without unwanted star trails. The integrated LED illumination unit further enhances the polar finder’s ease of use.
