Reflector Telescope Bresser Optics GALAXIA 114/900 EQ-SKY

The BRESSER Galaxia 114/900 EQ-Sky is a Newtonian reflector telescope with a 114 mm primary mirror and a 900 mm focal length, supplied with an equatorial (parallactic) mount and an aluminium tripod. The 114 mm aperture gathers sufficient light to reveal fainter deep-sky objects and to show clear detail on the Moon and the major planets. The tube is made of metal for increased durability and the set includes a smartphone camera adapter for simple astrophotography through the eyepiece.

Advantages

The 114 mm aperture combined with a 900 mm focal length offers a good balance between light-gathering power and magnification for beginner to intermediate users. The equatorial mount enables accurate tracking by compensating for Earth’s rotation, facilitating longer observations and easier manual follow-up of targets. The included smartphone adapter allows quick imaging with a mobile device without additional complex equipment. A metal tube and aluminium tripod provide stability and robustness suitable for regular field use.

Suitable for

• Beginner and hobby astronomy
• Visual observation of the Moon, planets and brighter deep-sky objects
• Basic astrophotography with a smartphone
• Field trips and backyard observing

How to use

Set up the aluminium tripod on firm, level ground and attach the equatorial mount according to the supplied instructions. Mount the telescope tube and balance it if required. Align the mount’s polar axis roughly toward the North (northern hemisphere) or South (southern hemisphere) to improve tracking performance. Insert an eyepiece and use the focuser to achieve a sharp image. For smartphone photos, attach the smartphone adapter to the eyepiece, position the phone camera over the eyepiece lens, then adjust alignment and focus before taking images.

Usage recommendations

For best results, let the telescope cool down outdoors to ambient temperature before observing, start with low-power eyepieces to locate objects, and perform a polar alignment of the equatorial mount for accurate tracking. Use the smartphone adapter with a steady phone clamp and avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.
