The Bresser Messier AR-127L/1200 binoculars are a good choice especially for those looking for an affordable but excellent optical acromatic lens for planetary and lunar observation. The instrument "does" what a discerning amateur expects from a binocular: its huge field of view is pin-sharp, and the ring of Saturn or the Great Red Spot of Jupiter are outstandingly sharp and contrasty.
With a diameter of 127 mm, the telescope is also suitable for use at high magnifications, thanks to its low brightness and extremely low chromatic aberration. Its collimating lens mount also puts the telescope in a higher quality category.
The scope comes with a 26 mm Super Plössl eyepiece, which provides a magnification of 46x, which can be multiplied by using an optional Barlow lens. A reversed-position 8x50 finder telescope makes it easy to align celestial objects. The 1.25" zenith mirror included in the standard package is upright but gives a right-to-left inverted image. A Vixen prism rail, also supplied as standard, makes it easy to mount the scope on most equatorial or azimuthal tripods. There is a handle on the tube ring for secure handling and a standard screw for attaching a camera.
A special feature of the Bresser Messier AR-127L refractor is its 2.5" Hexafoc focusing ring, which allows for more precise focusing than the rack-and-pinion focusing rings common in this category. The manufacturer has also paid attention to protecting the accessories, as the focusing ring is equipped with a copper clamping ring. In addition, the package includes two extension pieces for both visual and photographic focus. Also included is a 2"/1.25" adapter with T2 end.
The product includes a factory-mounted solar foil for safe solar observation. The viewfinder scope must be covered or mounted in this case!
