Bresser 127 f5 Refractor Opinions

[Captain Rex]

Hi,

Have been considering the  Breeser 127/635 f5 Refractor on an EXOS1 Tripod.

Does anyone have any experience with either of these items please? Comments and opinions welcome.

Thanks.

Hi

We have the 152/760 f5 which is the same design; 4 elements in 2 groups. A well corrected f10 objective lens and 2 Petzval correctors toward the eyepiece. Wonderfully flat wide field views. 

If you can extend to the EXOS II mount, so much the better as they're heavy beasts. I think the 127 is near on 8 kg.

Cheers and HTH.

f5 should enable you to use high quality eyepieces (usually for higher magnification), and I agree on a heavier mount if you can afford it, makes all the difference to steady and enjoyable views.
