This telescope is an ideal Astronomical instrument for both teens and adults who have an interest in Astronomy and who are looking for a telescope that offers sharp and clear optics with some slightly more advanced features than those found in most beginner telescopes.
The AR 90 Refractor is the perfect telescope for experiencing some truly memorable views of the lunar surface as well as some of the larger planets of our solar system. Look further into deep space and you will also be able to enjoy some of the many star clusters and some of the details visible in the brighter nebula such as Orions core.
The Mount & Tripod.
The Bresser Messier EXOS-1 mount is part of Bresser's entry level Equatorial Mount options making it an ideal platform for smaller telescopes such as refractors and Maksutov designs. Many beginner equatorial mounts are flimsy and under engineered mounts which can lead to a lot of frustration and discouragement for beginners in Astronomy. The EXOS-1 however, comes with a robust steel tripod and can comfortably carry optical tubes weighing up to 7kg for a stable visual observation of the night sky.
The optional motor drive for the RA axis makes usage even more comfortable, so there is no need to manually track the object and it is kept steadily in the eyepiece field of view.
