Bresser National Geographic 114/900 AZ-2 Astronomical Telescope
The Bresser National Geographic 114/900 AZ-2 astronomical telescope represents the perfect gateway into the fascinating world of astronomy for everyone who has never had the opportunity to explore the night sky. This powerful instrument enables observation of the Moon with its craters and mountain ranges, planets of the solar system including their moons, bright star clusters, nebulae, and other cosmic objects. Thanks to its intuitive operation, you don't need any previous astronomical knowledge or special skills to start discovering the mysteries of the universe.
Advanced Newtonian Reflector Optics
The telescope utilizes classic Newtonian reflector optics with a large primary mirror measuring 114mm in diameter. This generous mirror can capture significant amounts of light, which directly translates into the quality and brightness of observed objects. The mirror features a special protective and anti-reflective coating that not only extends its lifespan but also prevents degradation of optical properties due to oxidation or other external influences. The 900mm focal length provides an optimal balance between magnification and light-gathering power for versatile astronomical observation.
Complete Eyepiece Set and Accessories
The complete package includes three high-quality eyepieces with different focal lengths and a practical Barlow lens that doubles the telescope's effective focal length. This combination allows magnification ranging from 36x up to an impressive 675x, covering virtually all the needs of beginning astronomers. For quick and precise targeting of desired objects, a powerful 6x30 optical finder scope with wide field of view is firmly mounted on the telescope tube, making navigation across the starry sky much easier.
Included Accessories:
- Three eyepieces with varying focal lengths
- 2x Barlow lens for doubled magnification
- 6x30 optical finder scope
- Adjustable aluminum tripod
- Complete mounting hardware
User-Friendly AZ-2 Azimuthal Mount
The telescope is equipped with an easy-to-operate AZ-2 azimuthal mount that allows smooth movement in both horizontal and vertical directions. This mount is particularly suitable for beginners because it doesn't require complex polar alignment like equatorial mounts do. The robust aluminum tripod with adjustable height ensures excellent stability for the entire system and enables comfortable observation for astronomers of different heights. The solid construction eliminates unwanted vibrations that could disrupt observation quality, especially at higher magnifications.

Perfect for Various Observations
This versatile telescope excels at observing a wide range of celestial objects. The Moon reveals incredible detail with its craters, maria, and mountain ranges clearly visible. Planetary observation shows Jupiter's Great Red Spot and its four largest moons, Saturn's magnificent ring system, Mars' polar ice caps during opposition, and Venus' phases. Deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, and various star clusters become accessible targets for exploration.
About National Geographic Partnership
Bresser National Geographic emerged as the result of a strategic partnership between the prestigious international organization National Geographic and the renowned German company Bresser, which has specialized in manufacturing top-quality optical instruments for decades. National Geographic, famous for its documentary films and scientific expeditions worldwide, sought a reliable partner for producing quality telescopes, binoculars, and other optical equipment under its brand.
