Bresser AR 90/500 Messier NANO AZ Astronomical Telescope with Solar Filter
The Bresser AR 90/500 Messier NANO AZ is a premium astronomical telescope featuring an achromatic refractor design with a 90mm aperture and 500mm focal length. This compact refractor with an f/5.5 aperture ratio represents the ideal choice for beginning astronomers and casual observers. The telescope comes complete with an intuitive azimuthal AZ Nano mount that enables easy locating and tracking of celestial objects without complex setup procedures.
Superior Optical Performance
The achromatic 90mm objective lens provides sufficiently bright and contrasted images for observing lunar craters, planetary disks, and bright deep space objects. The f/5.5 aperture ratio ensures optimal balance between light gathering power and resolution capability, allowing observation of not only lunar formations but also Saturn's rings, Jupiter's bands, and bright star clusters. The azimuthal mount AZ Nano is designed for maximum operational simplicity and requires no previous experience with astronomical equipment.
Portable and Travel-Friendly Design
Compact dimensions and low weight make this telescope an ideal companion for travels and astronomical expeditions. The tube measuring just 480mm in length and weighing 1.9kg can be easily transported and quickly assembled at observation sites. The total system weight including mount reaches only 5.3kg, enabling easy carrying even for less experienced users. The solar filter included in the package expands observation possibilities to include safe monitoring of solar activity, sunspots, and granulation on our star's surface.
