Fancy a largish refractor ?

This Bresser Messier 127L did very well in the recent Sky & Night Magazine group test - it came out top

The Buy It Now price saves over £200 on the new price. Have to be able to collect from Somerset though ...

I believe these 127mm F9.3 scopes, including the Meade AR5 all come from the same factory in China and seem to perform well. The Meade version costs a lot more than the Bresser Messier version but I think that's because it comes on the LXD55 GOTO mount.

Gaz used to have one of these OTA's (or a clone of it) and I can recall that he thought it a really good planetary scope. FLO do a lovely Moonlight focusser for these as well 8)

I have the R102 version of this scope, for the money it gives excellent views. The focuser is my only complaint its very coarse. If you can change the focusser then it would be great. I mainly use it for a guide scope because of its long focal length. The views I have had of the moon through it have been very good with not too much CA.
