The Bresser Messier NT-150s/750 Newtonian Telescope and the modern EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo mount, is an impressive combination of portable, powerful optics and a user-friendly and very sturdy German Equatorial Mount. Thanks to the parabolic primary mirror and the 150mm aperture of the Telescope, you can capture impressive details of nebulae, galaxies, and many other fascinating celestial objects.
The high-quality solar filter also allows for safe solar observation. With the reliable GoTo control and the user-friendly 'ExploreStars' app, navigating the sky becomes effortless. Additionally, the tracking to compensate for Earth’s rotation is exceptionally precise with the PMC-Eight GoTo mount.
The Telescope:
The Bresser Messier NT-150 Newtonian Telescope is distinguished by its good portability and razor-sharp optics with a parabolic primary mirror. The 150mm aperture allows you to observe even smaller nebulae in the vastness of space. Discover the remnants of a massive star explosion from the year 1054 in the Taurus constellation or trace the glowing filaments of the Great Orion Nebula.
Spot the famous Pinwheel Galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major or find the Dumbbell Nebula in the constellation Vulpecula all of these targets are possible with this 6" Newtonian Reflecting Telescope. With the high-quality objective solar filter, you can also safely observe sunspots, eclipses, and planetary transits. (Warning: Never aim the telescope at the Sun without a solar filter!)
The EXOS-2 PMC-Eight Mount:
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.
Intuitive operation via app and graphical star chart:
The 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.
Powerful controller unit with Open GoTo for customization:
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.
Polar finder included:
The included and pre-installed polar finder scope allows for quick and precise polar alignment for longer exposure times without star trails. The integrated LED lighting unit further enhances the comfort of using the polar finder.
