Bresser Solarix 500mm Telescope with Tripod, Smartphone Adaptor and Solar Filter bridges the gap between deep-space exploration and daytime solar tracking, turning your back garden into a round-the-clock observatory. Elite Store brings you a sleek, carbon-fibre style Newtonian reflector that bypasses complicated alignments so you can lock onto lunar craters or solar flares within minutes of unboxing.
Rethinking the Limits of Single-Purpose Astronomy Gear
Most entry-level telescopes lock you into midnight viewing while leaving your equipment packed away gathering dust all day. This advanced setup breaks that boundary by integrating a certified, independently tested solar safety filter that blocks hazardous infrared, ultraviolet, and intense visible light. Instead of endangering your eyesight or needing secondary filters, you can track sunspots safely by lunchtime and swap to high-power lunar mapping by dusk.
All-In-One Cosmic Imaging Precision
- Independently Certified Solar Foil: Safeguards your vision during daytime tracking, allowing the safe observation of sunspots and eclipses.
- 114mm Light-Gathering Aperture: Collects massive amounts of light to render sharp, bright deep-sky imagery at night.
- Integrated Smartphone Bracket: Stabilises your mobile phone over the eyepiece to instantly capture and share crisp astrophotography.
- Tool-Free Azimuthal Mount: Sets up effortlessly on the included tripod, allowing fluid panning without complex adjustments.
