Description
Making steady tracking essential, the Bresser MC 127/1900 Messier Hexafoc EXOS-1 pairs the same 127mm Maksutov as the OTA version in this line with a full manual EXOS-1 equatorial mount — at f/15, this tube’s narrow field makes steady tracking genuinely important, not just a nice-to-have feature.
The EXOS-1’s stainless tripod and flexible-shaft controls give you the manual precision this focal ratio rewards: small, smooth adjustments keep a planet centered at 254x without the drift a lighter alt-azimuth mount would struggle to correct for. The included accessory tray also keeps filters and a second eyepiece within reach, useful during a long planetary session when swapping magnification quickly matters.
Key Features of Bresser MC 127/1900 Messier Hexafoc EXOS-1
A manual equatorial mount with flexible-shaft slow motion controls suits this Maksutov’s narrow, high-magnification field precisely, rewarding careful hand-tracking over quick casual looks.
- Manual flexible shafts allow fine tracking corrections at high magnification
- Stainless steel field tripod stays steady at magnifications up to 254x
- Sealed Maksutov-Cassegrain tube needs zero collimation, ever
- Included counterweight balances the 3.4kg tube properly once mounted
- Accessory tray keeps eyepieces and filters within arm’s reach
- Included 26mm Super Plossl eyepiece delivers 73x magnification right out of the box
- Precise manual controls reward an observer willing to learn fine tracking technique
The EXOS-1 Advantage
Against the OTA version of this same tube, the EXOS-1 bundle answers the mount question with a setup built specifically for this focal ratio’s demands — precise manual tracking at high magnification, without needing to source a compatible mount separately.
Applications & Use Cases
Built for manual right-ascension tracking, this telescope suits bright solar system targets with balanced weight distribution on a precise f/15 Maksutov platform built for patient observation.
- Observers who want a complete, ready-to-use planetary setup
- Visual astronomers focused on the Moon and planets specifically
- Anyone who enjoys the process of fine manual tracking over automation
