BRESSER Messier EXOS-2 EQ GoTo Mount
The BRESSER EXOS-2 GoTo Equatorial Mount includes a mount, tripod, and hand box with a computer. This German mount has tracking motors in both axes that follow celestial objects very precisely. The handbox with GoTo works reliably and controls the mount in every situation. Precise ball bearings in both axes ensure minimal backlash at all nine possible tracking speeds. The mount rests on a very tough and rigid stainless steel tripod and can take optical tubes of up to 13 kg.
GOTO - Stargazing at the Push of a Button!
The Startracker GoTo System enables beginners to start astronomical observations in just a few minutes and guides you to objects that are hard to localize through a standard finder scope. The GoTo System database includes thousands of astronomical objects. The BRESSER StarTracker GoTo systems use servo motors for both axes and feature an ST-4 compatible autoguiding input. The menu navigation of the Startracker Handbox is also multilingual and offers settings in German, English, French, Spanish, and Italian.
