This well loved telescope series even provides good portability due to its lightweight fibreglass telescope tube and optics of this size offer some of the best views you will see of our Solar System and beyond.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the powerful telescope aperture of 305mm, you get significantly more light-gathering capacity than with the smaller models and are therefore not limited to observing the moon and the planets of our solar system - At this kind of aperture you can really observe further out into the universe and observe globular clusters, nebulae and galaxies in even greater detail \u0026amp; clarity. Many finer details start to become clearly visible in most deep-sky objects: globular clusters are clearly resolved into individual stars and gas nebulae, which can only barely be seen with smaller devices, start to show some structure. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe device is unrivalled in its versatility: The excellent large Hexafoc focuser has an aperture of 65mm - so there is no noticeable obstruction from the focuser tube even with large wide-field eyepieces. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the large altitude wheels, even these heavier eyepieces are held effortlessly. And if a particularly large number of accessories is attached, such as a binocular attachment, then the entire tube can be moved inside the tube clamps - and everything is balanced again in a flash. The unrivalled rigidity of the focuser makes focusing very easy - so photography with this telescope is also possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the new 12\" Bresser Messier makes it easy to transport the device as compactly as possible - the rocker box can be dismantled in a few simple steps because the parts are assembled with metal quick-release connectors. This quickly turns the bulky rocker box into a handy flat package of individual parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package also includes a high-quality objective solar filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planetary transits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Reflector telescope \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelescope for night and solar observation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight but very stable GRP telescope tube\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary mirror diameter: 12\" (305 mm) parabolic main mirror \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal length: 1,525 mm \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture ratio: f\/5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum useful magnification: 610x \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheoretical. resolving power: 0.45 arcseconds \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to balance the tube by sliding it inside the tube rings\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisual limiting magnitude: 14.5 mag \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube: GRP tube with adjustable tube rings and aluminium altitude bearings \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocuser: 2.5\" HEXAFOC focuser with 2\" and 1 1\/4\" adapter \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShifting-free focusing even with heavy accessories \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecondary mirror bracket: very thin 4-arm steel spider \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube rings and altitude wheels made from aluminum\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifferent sized adjustment and counter screws on the mirror cell \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse of the optics also on EQ mounts (with optional dovetail bar) \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: Dobsonian system \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDismantlable rocker box \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory tray for one 2\" and two 1 1\/4\" eyepieces, mounted on the front side \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEyepiece: BRESSER Super Plössl 25 mm (1 1\/4\") \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViewfinder: 6x30 viewfinder\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHybrid viewfinder shoes (Art. 0620158) included (2 pcs)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube weight without accessories: 16 kg\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube weight with accessories: 18.9 kg \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRocker box weight: 14.8 kg \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal weight: 33.7 kg \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall dimensions: 60 x 60 x 163 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e*\u003c\/span\u003e Please note: Due to the large size of this Telescope, standard courier delivery is not possible.
