Bresser Messier NT-130/1000 38-260x165 Product description

  1. Newtonian Reflector Design: As a Newtonian reflector telescope, the Bresser Messier NT-130/1000 utilizes mirrors to gather and focus light. This design is highly effective for astronomical observations, especially for faint deep-sky objects, as it provides a large aperture at a more accessible price point compared to refractors, and inherently eliminates chromatic aberration.

  2. Exceptional Light Gathering: Boasting a 130mm (5.1-inch) aperture, this telescope excels in collecting light, allowing for bright, detailed views of nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters. The substantial aperture also contributes to impressive resolution for lunar and planetary observations, revealing intricate surface details.

  3. Stable Equatorial Mount: Equipped with an EQ-3 equatorial mount, this telescope offers precise tracking of celestial objects as they move across the night sky. The mount's robust design and fine adjustment controls make it easier to locate and keep objects in view, enhancing the overall observing experience for both visual astronomy and introductory astrophotography.

  4. High-Quality Optics: The heart of the NT-130/1000 is its parabolic primary mirror, which is crucial for delivering sharp, high-contrast images free from spherical aberration. This superior optical quality ensures that observers can discern fine details on the Moon and planets, as well as enjoy crisp views of extended deep-sky targets.

ABOUT THE BRESSER MESSIER NT-130/1000 38-260X165

The Bresser Messier NT-130/1000 38-260x165 is a versatile Newtonian reflector telescope designed for both amateur astronomers and those taking their first step into serious observing. With its substantial 130mm aperture and a focal length of 1000mm, this telescope boasts impressive light-gathering capability, making it an excellent choice for observing faint deep-sky objects like distant galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Unlike refractors, its mirror-based design inherently eliminates chromatic aberration, providing crisp, color-accurate views. The robust construction ensures stability during observations, while the high-quality parabolic primary mirror delivers sharp, detailed images of the moon, planets, and even some of the brighter deep-sky marvels. This model stands out in its series for offering a superb balance of aperture and focal length, providing both wide-field views and sufficient magnification for detailed observations, making it suitable for a wide range of astronomical pursuits.
