NEW – now including a high-quality aperture Solar-filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night and solar observation.

The BRESSER Messier NT-203 with a parabolic main mirror enables observations that wouldn´t have been possible in this price range a few years ago. Through the use of modern manufacturing technology, one can follow the shadows of Jupiter´s moons on the planet itself. The depth of structure and detail on Jupiter´s surface is breath-taking.The Messier NT-203 doesn't however only score in planetary observation: Explore structures in far away galaxies and observe wisps of fog from the nebulae emission in the depth of the Milky Way. Using the Messier NT-203 you can explore the remains of exploded giant stars and the birthplace of new stars. This above-average devise can help you discover the real beauty of our universe!

Please note: Reflector telescopes with optical design Newton are very good for astronomical observing at the starry night sky. But these telescopes are not well usable for observing landscape and nature during daylight. Therefore we suggest BRESSER refractor (lens) telescopes for landscape and nature observing.
