Bresser MC 127/1900 MCX Messier EQ/AZ GoTo

Description

Switching between two mount modes, the Bresser MC 127/1900 MCX Messier EQ/AZ GoTo uses a motorized dual-fork design entirely different from the EXOS-2 GoTo sharing this tube’s optics, backed by a database of over 100,000 objects — the most capable GoTo option for this 127mm Maksutov.

Why choose dual-fork over EXOS-2 GoTo? The MCX mount’s convertible design lets you start in simple alt-azimuth mode and switch to a tilted equatorial layout once you’re ready for tracked sessions, without needing to learn German equatorial polar alignment from day one — a gentler ramp for a first GoTo Maksutov. The integrated flip-mirror system also switches between 90-degree and straight-through views instantly, a feature the EXOS-2 GoTo bundle doesn’t include.

Key Features of Bresser MC 127/1900 MCX Messier EQ/AZ GoTo

A heavy-duty dual-fork mount with an integrated polar wedge switches between alt-azimuth and equatorial configurations on demand, giving a new GoTo buyer room to grow into tracked observing.

• Convertible AZ/EQ design starts simple and adds tracked equatorial mode when ready
• Gotostar hand controller’s database covers over 100,000 objects
• Integrated flip-mirror system switches between 90-degree and straight-through views instantly
• Heavy-duty steel tripod supports the dual-fork mount’s added stability
• Accessory tray keeps eyepieces and the hand controller within reach
• Runs on 8x AA batteries or an optional external AC-DC adapter
• Convertible design suits a buyer unsure yet which mount style they prefer long-term

How the MCX GoTo Compares

Against the EXOS-2 GoTo sharing this same tube, the MCX mount trades a single equatorial-only design for genuine flexibility — alt-azimuth for casual use, equatorial for tracked sessions, plus a larger object database and an instant flip-mirror most German equatorial GoTo mounts don’t include.

Applications & Use Cases

Built for automated motorized tracking in either alt-azimuth or tilted equatorial layouts, this telescope resolves sharp planetary detail free of color aberration across a 5-inch aperture.

• Buyers who want GoTo flexibility without committing to equatorial-only tracking
• Observers who want the largest object database available on this tube
• Anyone new to GoTo who wants to grow into equatorial tracking gradually
