This complete set consists of the Bresser Messier AR-152L\/760 Refractor Telescope and the modern EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo Mount. With the large aperture and focal length of 760mm, the high-quality optics deliver razor-sharp, high-contrast images that will impress even the most experienced Astronomer. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Telescope:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bresser Messier AR-152L is a very capable for detailed Planetary observations using an optional Barlow or Focal extender, however the relatively fast f\/5 focal ratio means that this Telescope is also perfectly capable for deep space astrophotography too. 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!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe EXOS-2 PMC-Eight Mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIntuitive operation via app and graphical star chart:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ExploreStars App, developed specifically for the PMC-Eight system, impresses with a very well-designed, intuitive user interface. The featured '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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePowerful controller unit with Open GoTo for customization:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePolar finder included:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe included and pre-installed polar finder scope allows for quick and precise polar alignment for longer exposure times without star trails.
