Description
Freeing both hands for observing, the Bresser AC 127S/635 Messier EXOS 2 GoTo removes the effort of manually chasing a comet across a wide field while also managing a 7.7kg tube’s slow-motion controls by hand, adding dual-axis motorized tracking to the same high-load platform as the manual EXOS-2 version.
An illuminated 8×50 finder simplifies alignment in the dark, and once tracking, the motorized system handles this tube’s wide field automatically — freeing both hands for actually observing rather than nudging controls throughout a session. Running the motorized system draws power from 8x D-cell batteries or an optional AC-DC adapter, a real consideration for anyone planning a long night far from an outlet.
Key Features of Bresser AC 127S/635 Messier EXOS 2 GoTo
A dual-axis motorized StarTracker system on the same high-load EXOS-2 platform automates wide-field tracking for this line’s heaviest rich-field tube, removing the physical effort a manual mount demands.
- Dual-axis motorized tracking follows wide-field targets automatically once aligned
- High-load platform carries this catalog’s heaviest tube with real payload margin
- 8×50 illuminated finder scope simplifies alignment on dim comet targets
- Two included 4.5kg counterweights balance heavier accessory loads
- Runs on 8x D-cell batteries or an optional AC-DC adapter
- Hand controller’s database locates catalogued deep-sky fields directly
- Motorized tracking removes the physical strain of manually wrangling a heavy tube
How the EXOS 2 GoTo Compares
Against the manual EXOS-2 sharing this mount platform, the GoTo version’s automated tracking is a genuine convenience specifically because this tube is heavy enough that manual slow-motion adjustments take real effort during a long session — motorized tracking frees you to actually look rather than constantly nudge controls.
Applications & Use Cases
Built for automated motorized object finding, this telescope suits rich-field deep-sky exploration, comet surveys, and low-magnification imaging fields across an extended session.
- Comet-watchers who want automated tracking on a serious-aperture rich-field scope
- Observers who’d rather not manually wrangle a 7.7kg tube’s slow-motion controls
- Anyone running long sessions where hand fatigue becomes a real factor
Bresser Warranty & Support
The AR-127S/635 EXOS-2 GoTo carries a 2-Year Factory Warranty covering manufacturing defects, handled directly through Bresser’s support channel.
