Description

The Bresser First Light AR-102/1000 telescope is ideal for both ambitious beginners and experienced astronomers.
Discover the stunning features of Orion Nebula, which is located at a distance of 1500 light years (14,200,000,000,000 km) from earth!

The stable mount keeps the telescope stable, even at higher magnifications. Thanks to the high-quality mechanics, you can take your own photos of the moon and marvel at the dividing line between night and day (terminator).

The refractor telescope features an equatorial mount (also called a parallactic mount). Thanks to this two-axis mechanism, it is possible to compensate for the rotation of the earth, enabling you to precisely track your desired celestial object.

The telescope also comes with a wide range of accessories for exploring the night sky, including a prism for an upright and laterally correct image.

Key features:

  • High-quality achromatic refracting telescope
  • Diameter: 102 mm; focal length: 1000 mm f/9.8
  • EQ-3 equatorial mount
  • Height-adjustable tripod with accessory shelf
  • Made primarily of metal
  • Excellent focuser
  • Prism for an upright and laterally correct image
  • Includes wide range of accessories
