Bresser Messier 90/900 NANO AZ telescope
Bresser is a traditional German company with decades of experience in optical instruments. The Messier range offers telescopes designed for ambitious beginners who want excellent value for money. These telescopes are built to grow with you - you can add accessories and upgrade as your skills develop. A Bresser Messier telescope will stay useful long after your first steps into astronomy. It is a great starting point for anyone who wants to explore the night sky with a genuine astronomical instrument.
The Bresser Messier 90/900 NANO AZ telescope has a 90mm aperture, which means it collects up to 200 times more light than the naked eye. This lets you see details that are completely invisible without optical aid. The 900mm focal length delivers excellent magnification and image contrast. The refractor design is time-tested and produces sharp, bright images with minimal chromatic aberration. This telescope opens up the entire universe - from the surface of the Moon to the distant planets of the Solar System.
What can you observe?
The Moon
The Moon is the first and most popular target for every new astronomer. With the Bresser Messier 90/900, you can observe craters, valleys, ridges and mountain ranges on the lunar surface from nearly 400,000 km away - as if you were looking out of a spacecraft window. Every surface detail is sharp and full of contrast thanks to the quality optics. During a full Moon, the view at high magnification is truly stunning. This telescope lets you explore the Moon in a way you could only dream of before.
Saturn and Jupiter
Saturn is one of the most beautiful planets in the Solar System. Its rings are clearly visible even at medium magnification. With the Messier 90/900, you can distinguish the Cassini Division between Saturn's rings, hundreds of millions of kilometres away. Jupiter reveals its characteristic cloud bands and the famous Great Red Spot - a giant storm in the planet's atmosphere. You can also easily spot Jupiter's four Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Galileo himself observed these same moons with a far more primitive instrument nearly 400 years ago. Today you see them with incomparably better optics.
Mars, Venus and the outer planets
Mars and Venus are two more rewarding targets. On Mars, in good conditions, you can make out the polar ice caps and dark surface features that change with the seasons. Venus displays clear phases, just like the Moon - a crescent Venus is one of the most striking sights for a beginner. Uranus and Neptune appear as small bluish discs, easily distinguished from background stars. The Messier 90/900 is an excellent instrument for a complete tour of the Solar System's planets.
Nano AZ mount - simple and reliable
The Nano AZ is a single-arm alt-azimuth mount. It is quick to set up and straightforward to use - no prior experience with astronomical equipment required. It works much like an ordinary photographic tripod. The mount carries loads of up to 3.5 kg, so it handles larger accessories without any problem. It is compatible with Vixen-standard dovetail bars, which means you can attach almost any telescope of a suitable weight. Movement on both axes is smooth and precise, making it easy to follow objects across the sky.
An alt-azimuth mount is the ideal choice for visual observation and for beginners who are still learning to navigate the night sky. Finding an object is simple - just move the telescope in two directions, horizontal and vertical, until the object appears in the field of view. The Nano AZ mount is designed for maximum simplicity and reliability. It is compact and easy to carry, so you can set up anywhere outdoors. For children and adults alike, this mount is the best way to get started.
Stainless steel tripod
The stainless steel tripod provides a solid base for the whole setup. Stainless steel resists corrosion and stands up to regular outdoor use. The height is adjustable, so every observer can find a comfortable viewing position. Tripod stability has a direct impact on image quality - any vibration or wobble shows up immediately at high magnification. The Bresser stainless steel tripod minimises this problem and keeps the image steady, even in a light breeze.
Ready to use from the first night
The Bresser Messier 90/900 NANO AZ comes with everything you need to start observing straight away. The package includes eyepieces for different magnifications, a finderscope to help you locate objects quickly, and a full instruction manual. The Messier system is fully expandable - you can add more powerful eyepieces, filters, camera adapters or motorised GoTo systems. This means the telescope serves you for years, even as your knowledge and expectations grow. Investing in a Bresser Messier telescope is an investment in a long-term astronomy hobby.
Trusted across Europe
The Messier range is popular throughout Europe and receives excellent reviews from beginners and experienced amateur astronomers alike. The most frequently praised qualities are optical performance, build quality and ease of use. The Bresser Messier 90/900 produces images that are many times brighter and more detailed than anything Galileo Galilei saw during his famous discoveries. Modern lens coatings minimise light loss and maximise light transmission. Everyone who chooses this telescope joins a long tradition of astronomical exploration - one that began with instruments very much like this one.
