NEW – now including a high-quality aperture Solar-filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night and solar observation.

The BRESSER Messier NT-203 with a parabolic main mirror provides you with images that a few years ago were impossible in this price class. Modern production technology lets you track the shadows of Jupiter's moons on the planet; the amount of structure and details on the surface of the planet is breathtaking. But the Messier NT-203 is not only great for planetary work: Detect details in faint distant galaxies and let the glow of nebulae takes you to a journey into the depth of the Milky Way. The Messier NT-203 provides you with images from the remains of giant exploded stars and gives you a view into the nursery of new stars. Let this big scope take you away to the beauty of the universe!

Please note: Reflector telescopes with optical design Newton are very good for astronomical observing at the starry night sky. But these telescopes are not well usable for observing landscape and nature during daylight. Therefore, we suggest BRESSER refractor (lens) telescopes for landscape and nature observing.
