Hi All,
so far we know a lot of chinese achromats. Most known today are :
- Skywatcher
- Burgess
- Antares
- TS-Germany
the new good modells are made by Jinghua in China, also doing scopes for Meade.
the big, old powerfull company Bresser, bought by Meade some years ago, but still working as a special department under Meade took now advantage of that new scopes with his own improvement requirements.
Bresser/Meade have a superb service center here in Germany at Meade Europe location.
We the dealers in germany have the big advantage to get this superb service free for the items we buy from Bresser/Meade
Bresser introduce now with a nice color catalogue the new line of achromatical telescopes with improvements, which are sold by some other named companys already as Semi-Apos, for whatever reason, where they are still achromats, but of good quality.
The Modells:
- Achromat D=152 mm f/760 mm with giant 4" focuser for zero vigneting , nice strong equatorial mount, strong stainless steel metaltripod, set of eyepieces, illuminated finder 8 x 50 . all togher US $ 850 ex Germany from APM
- Achromat D=127 mm f/1200 mm with giant 3" focuser for zero vigneting , nice strong equatorial mount, strong stainless steel metaltripod, set of eyepieces, illuminated finder 8 x 50 . all togher US $ 650 ex Germany from APM
- Achromat D=127 mm f/635 mm with giant 3" focuser for zero vigneting , nice strong equatorial mount, strong stainless steel metaltripod, set of eyepieces, illuminated finder 8 x 50 . all togher US $ 680 ex Germany from APM
thats scopes getting delivered in November and we plan to offer them for the US market, since we have to deal in claim cases not with China, but with one of the best service places in Europe and thats make our live very comfortable
Images of the new scopes can be found on our webside under BRESSER
have fun
