Bresser Messier AR Telescope

[Dave61]

Hi folks I am really enjoying using my Firstscope and Travel Scope but want a bigger size for viewing the moon and stars,  I very nearly got the Bresser Messier AR-102L/1000 OTA from FLO here.  Sadly I think it would be too big for me here, as sometimes I'd open the bedroom window to use and other times it would come down stairs and out side.  Then I started to look at the smaller one but size AR-102s/600, do you think it would be a good choice or maybe the 635mm.  Sadly Flo don't have it back in stock yet but I found a place that might.

Looks like I will be waiting for a few months till anyone gets a Bresser Messier in thats under a 1000mm,  still I can just get some practice in with what I own already.

Thank you, I've been looking at the Flo site and might get some eye pieces to start me off too.

I picked my AR102S up recently of a member on here. I've not had many opportunities to use it with our poor recent weather. It is a great scope for grab and go set up on my AZ4 mount. Being short focal length it give some great low power wide field views. I have always been a dob user, and still am, but I have never seen the amount of colour in stars like through the AR102S.

Well as the saying goes, It had to be done.  Logged in to FLO and just put in my order for the Bresser Messier AR-102/1000 Refractor, it looks so beautiful and reminds me of my old Canon L lenses so can't wait till it arrives plus I have a set of eye pieces arriving tomorrow.
