Bresser Solarix 114/500 Reflector Telescope with Solar Filter, Tripod and Phone Adapter
Bresser Solarix 114/500 Reflector Telescope
The Bresser Solarix 114/500 is a solar filter telescope built around a reflector design, made for curious households that want to observe the Sun in the afternoon and the Moon and stars after dark. A 114mm objective mirror and 500mm focal length deliver strong light gathering, while the kit arrives almost fully assembled with tripod, azimuthal mount, laser finder, eyepieces, two Barlow lenses and a smartphone adapter. You can be observing within minutes of opening the box.
A Solar Filter Telescope for Safe Daytime Astronomy
Pointing an ordinary telescope at the Sun is dangerous, which is why most scopes sit unused until nightfall. The Solarix includes a special objective filter containing a foil that dampens infrared, ultraviolet and visible light to a safe level, and its safety integrity has been checked independently by a major quality assurance company. Then, after sunset, simply remove the filter and the 114mm mirror gets to work on craters and star fields. Add a magnification range of 20x to 111x and tool-free setup, and the Solarix offers double the observing time of a night-only beginner scope.
What Comes Ready to Use
- Solar objective filter: Lets you study the Sun safely during the day when correctly fitted, turning sunny weekends into observing sessions.
- Eyepieces and two Barlow lenses: Together they cover magnifications from 20x to 111x, from wide star fields to closer views of the Moon.
- Laser finder: Helps you aim at targets quickly, so less time is spent hunting and more time is spent observing.
- Smartphone adapter: Holds your phone to the eyepiece so you can record images of what you see and share them later.
