UNDER THE NAME MESSIER, THE TRADITIONAL MANUFACTURER OF BRESSER OFFERS TELESCOPES FOR AMBITIOUS BEGINNERS AT AN EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY. ACCESSORIES CAN BE ADDED TO MESSIER TELESCOPES AND THEY CAN BE RETROFITTED TO BE USED BEYOND THE BASIC LEVEL.

THE AC 80/640 OPTICS: THE 80MM DIAMETER OBJECTIVE COLLECTS 31% MORE LIGHT THAN A COMPARABLE 70MM REFRACTOR TELESCOPE. THIS IS EVIDENT IN THE OPTICAL PERFORMANCE: ON PLANET JUPITER, THE TWO MAIN CLOUD BANDS BECOME VISIBLE FROM A DISTANCE OF 600 MILLION KM AND MANY OTHER MESSIER CELESTIAL BODIES ARE VISIBLE.

THE SHORT FOCAL LENGTH OF ONLY 640MM ENABLES WIDE-FIELD OBSERVATIONS OF OPEN STAR CLUSTERS IN OUR MILKY WAY. THE SHORT DESIGN MAKES THIS REFRACTOR ALSO AN ATTRACTIVE LOW COST TRAVEL TELESCOPE.

THE OPTIC IS SUPPLIED ALMOST COMPLETELY PRE-ASSEMBLED AND WITH ALL THE NECESSARY ACCESSORIES: YOU CAN START USING IT IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME TO ASSEMBLY. REFRACTORS ARE ALSO VERY STABLE AND DURABLE.

THE NANO AZ MOUNT: THIS SINGLE-ARM MOUNT IS QUICKLY READY TO USE AND EASY TO USE. IT'S AS EASY TO USE AS A PHOTO TRIPOD. THE MOUNT SUPPORTS UP TO 3.5 KG AND ALL TELESCOPES EQUIPPED WITH A STANDARD VIXEN PRISM GUIDE CAN BE MOUNTED.

THE STAINLESS STEEL TRIPOD IS A VERY STABLE BASE FOR THE MOUNT.
