Telescope Bresser Messier 8" Dobson 203/1218 with solar filter
The Bresser Messier 8" Dobson Telescope, with its 203mm optical diameter, makes it one of the highest quality and most versatile telescopes at an unbeatable price. The excellent Hexafoc focusing mechanism boosts the 65mm (2.5") free diameter so you avoid the dreaded vignetting in large wide field eyepieces caused by smaller eyepiece barrels.
Telescope Bresser Messier 8" Dobson.
The Bresser Messier 8" Dobson Telescope is, quite simply, a breakthrough. At an unbeatable price, this Bresser telescope offers versatility and quality that rivals many much more expensive telescopes. The 203mm (8") optical diameter doesn't limit your observations to solar system objects, such as the Moon or planets, you can now reach much farther into the sky and explore globular and open clusters, nebulae and galaxies. With this telescope, structures of these objects begin to show up: globular clusters are no longer just fuzzy blobs, but masses of individual stars. Nebulae, which are barely detectable with smaller telescopes, reveal magnificent internal structures.
In addition, this Bresser telescope offered to you at Telescopiomania is setting a new standard for versatility: the excellent Hexafoc focusing mechanism boosts the 65mm (2.5") free diameter so that you avoid the dreaded vignetting in large wide-field eyepieces, caused by smaller eyepiece barrels.
The large altitude control wheels smoothly handle the tube with the large, heavy eyepieces (even when you add a binocular scope with two eyepieces), just move the tube on its rings to achieve balance in a matter of seconds.
The excellent rigidity of the focusing mechanism makes focusing a snap - even for astrophotography use of the telescope. This is another virtue of this versatile telescope: you can remove the height control wheels from the tube rings, attach dovetails and use the optical tube on an equatorial mount for astrophotography in a matter of minutes. The focus is able to operate optimally even with heavy cameras. Are you very picky about image sharpness? No problem. With the optional 10:1 reduction gear, getting sharp images is very easy. Considering that the focusing mechanism is the most frequently used part of the telescope, you will immediately recognize what a quantum leap in quality the Hexafoc system represents compared to other telescopes in this price range.
With the standard accessories included (LED finder and 25mm SPL eyepiece) the Bresser Telescope is ready to carry out your observations immediately.
If you need to transport or store the telescope in the most compact way possible the 8" Messier Bresser case is easily and quickly assembled and disassembled thanks to the use of standard metal furniture fasteners. So you can transform the box into a practical package in no time at all.
All in all, this fantastic new telescope is setting a new standard in ease of use, versatility and performance in its price range - the best 8" Dobson, now at your fingertips!
