The combination of large aperture and short focal length predestine the Bresser Messier AR-152S for the observation of large celestial objects. Experience the famous Globular Cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules: Thousands of pinpoint stars stand before a black sky like so many diamonds spilled onto black velvet. Equipped with nebular filters you can watch the "Gulf of Mexico" in the North America Nebula and all the other celestial objects that Charles Messier listed in 1781. The compact size of the Messier AR-152S combines outstanding transportability, high light gathering power and low weight for a telescope of this aperture.
