Bresser Galaxia 114/900 EQ3 Telescope with Solar Filter
The Bresser Galaxia 114/900 EQ3 is an entry-level astronomy telescope that delivers outstanding optical performance at an accessible price. It features a 114 mm primary mirror that gathers a large amount of light, producing sharp and high-contrast images of astronomical objects. With a focal length of 900 mm and the included accessories, the telescope reaches a maximum magnification of 225x, with a usable magnification range of 45-225x. It is an ideal choice for anyone who wants to start exploring astronomy and discover the wonders of the night sky - no prior experience required.
What can you observe?
With the Bresser Galaxia 114/900 EQ3, you can explore virtually the entire solar system. Observe the cratered surface of the Moon, Saturn's rings, or Jupiter's Galilean moons - Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The bright, high-contrast image lets you follow the polar ice caps on Mars and the cloud bands on Jupiter. The telescope also performs well on star clusters and brighter nebulae, such as the Pleiades, the Orion Nebula, and the Andromeda Galaxy.
Beyond the night sky, the included solar filter lets you observe the solar photosphere and sunspots safely - with no risk of eye damage whatsoever.
Included accessories
The telescope comes with two eyepieces at different magnifications, so you can adjust the view to suit the conditions and the object you are observing. The package also includes a 3x Barlow lens, which triples the magnification of any eyepiece - an ideal combination for detailed planetary viewing.
All accessories store neatly in a dedicated tray built into the tripod, so everything stays within reach and nothing gets lost during a session.
Smartphone astrophotography
The package includes a smartphone adapter that attaches directly to the eyepiece. It accepts virtually any modern smartphone. Once you align the phone's camera with the eyepiece, you can photograph the Moon, planets, and star fields and share your results with friends or on social media. This approach to astrophotography is perfect for beginners who want to capture their first astronomical images without investing in dedicated camera equipment.
EQ3 equatorial mount
The EQ3 equatorial mount is a significant step up from simpler alt-azimuth mounts. Once you align the mount's axis with the Earth's rotational axis, tracking a moving celestial object requires movement along just one axis. This makes extended observation of the Moon or planets far easier, keeping the object in the field of view without constant correction. The EQ3 mount offers smooth, fine adjustment on both axes for comfortable control and quick object-finding.
For a beginner astronomer, this is an excellent foundation to build on. The mount is compatible with a motorised drive for automatic tracking - a straightforward upgrade when you are ready for it.
