Bresser 90/500 EQ-3 Product description

  1. Achromatic Refractor Design: The Bresser 90/500 EQ-3 is a refractor telescope featuring an achromatic objective lens. This design utilizes a two-element lens to minimize chromatic aberration, providing clear, high-contrast images of celestial objects. It is particularly well-suited for crisp views of the Moon, planets, and bright deep-sky targets.

  2. EQ-3 Equatorial Mount: Equipped with a robust EQ-3 equatorial mount, this telescope allows for precise tracking of astronomical objects as they move across the night sky. The slow-motion controls enable fine adjustments, making it easier to keep your target within the field of view during extended observation sessions or for photographic pursuits.

  3. Versatile Mid-Range Aperture: With a 90mm aperture, this telescope gathers ample light for a detailed viewing experience without being overly bulky. Its compact 500mm focal length (f/5.6) offers a wider field of view compared to longer focal ratio telescopes, making it excellent for observing larger celestial objects like star clusters and nebulae, alongside lunar and planetary specifics.

  4. Portable and User-Friendly: Designed for an optimal balance between performance and portability, the Bresser 90/500 EQ-3 is easy to set up and transport. Its intuitive design makes it an excellent choice for beginners eager to explore the cosmos and provides an accessible entry point into serious astronomy for backyard observers.

ABOUT THE Bresser 90/500 EQ-3

The Bresser 90/500 EQ-3 telescope is an exceptional instrument for both novice astronomers and seasoned hobbyists looking for a versatile and portable setup. This refractor telescope, characterized by its lens-based optical system, delivers crisp, high-contrast images, making it perfect for detailed observations of the Moon's craters, the rings of Saturn, and the moons of Jupiter. Its 90mm aperture effectively gathers light, showcasing a surprising amount of detail in brighter deep-sky objects such as star clusters. The 500mm focal length results in a wide field of view, ideal for sweeping across the Milky Way. Constructed with a durable aluminum optical tube and mounted on a stable EQ-3 equatorial mount, this telescope transitions seamlessly between astronomical and terrestrial viewing. The EQ-3 mount, equipped with manual slow-motion controls, allows for effortless tracking of celestial bodies, compensating for the Earth's rotation. This robust assembly ensures steady observations, minimizing vibrations and maximizing clarity, making it a reliable tool for education, recreational stargazing, and even some introductory astrophotography.

Hello, My daughter is interested in astronomy and we would like to buy a suitable telescope for beginners. If it turns out that the interest is "deeper" we would consider buying a better telescope later. The desire is to observe "deep sky" and the mount should be azimuth. The purchase price is in the range of 200-250 €. What kind of telescope do you recommend? Thank you

Pozdravljeni, Hči zanima astronomija in želeli bi kupiti ustrezen teleskop za začetnike. Če se bo izkazalo, da je zanimanje "globlje" bi kasneje razmislili o nakupu boljšega teleskopa. Želja je po opazovanju "deep sky", montaža pa naj bo azimutna. Cenovno se nakup giblje do zneska od 200-250 €. Kakšen teleskop mi svetujete? Hvala

by Jurij

We would also recommend the Bresser 90/500 EQ-3, which also has an "azimuth" tripod and is one of the better choices in this class.

Glede na izbiro bi Vam tudi mi priporočili model Bresser 90/500 EQ-3, ki ima tudi "azimutno" stojalo in je ena izmed boljših izbir v tem razredu.
