The MESSIER N-203 provides you with images that a few years ago were impossible in this price class. Modern production technology lets you track the shadows of Jupiter's moons on the planet; the amount of structure and details on the surface of the planet is breathtaking. But the MESSIER N-203 is not only great for planetary work: Detect details in faint distant galaxies and let the glow of nebulae take you to a journey into the depth of the milky way.

The MESSIER N-203 provides you with images from the remains of giant exploded stars and gives you a view into the nursery of new stars. Let this big scope take you away to the beauty of the universe!
