Mount and Tripod. The Bresser Messier beginners series of telescopes. Within this series you find smaller optics mounted stable on the new Bresser EXOS 2 mount. This combination means more value for money and puts an end to flimsy beginners scopes which discourage most of the beginners due to small, under engineered mounts. The EXOS 2 with a robust steel tripod bears optical tubes weighing up to 13kg stable for visual observation. The optional motor drive for the RA+DEC axis makes usage even more comfortable, so there is no need of manual tracking and the object is kept steadily in the field of view.
