Self-sufficient travel with the BRESSER solar charger
Whether camping, sailing, trekking or swimming at the nearest lake – anyone who enjoys being outdoors for long periods of time does not want to do without their smartphone, tablet, powerbank, etc. But one question quickly arises: where can I find the nearest power socket? After all, every battery runs out and our practical everyday helpers can't manage without electricity. With the ultra-compact BRESSER solar charger, you simply use the power of the sun to charge your devices. The environmentally friendly solar energy is free of charge – and you remain independent of the power grid!
Simply open it up, put it down and immediately produce green solar powerThe handling is very simple: unfold the solar panel and align it as perpendicularly as possible to the sun. Then connect the device to be charged to the solar charger, either with a suitable USB cable (not included) or with the included DC connection cable. The charging process begins immediately.
Which devices can the solar panel charge?
The solar charger gets all devices with a USB power supply connection or the above-mentioned DC power plug connection up and running again in no time – e.g. smartphones, tablets, power banks, portable playstations, MP4 players, GPS devices and Bluetooth headphones. For charging large power stations, we recommend the more powerful BRESSER solar panels with at least 60 watts output power – see art. no. 3810050, 3810060, 3810070.Universal charger with flexible connection optionsOne USB-A connection socket is available for powering your devices. There is also an additional universal connection socket for DC bar plugs with a diameter of 5.5/2.1 mm. A universal connection cable with a 5.5/2.1mm DC bar plug on both sides and a length of 2 metres, as well as 3 plug adapters (3.5/1.35mm, 5.5/2.5mm, 8.0/5.5/0.8mm) are included in the scope of delivery. The polarity of the connectors is as follows: Inner contact = positive (+), outer contact = negative (-).
How long does it take to charge a battery?Most modern devices with built-in batteries indicate the current charging status of the battery on a display or status LEDs. The charging process is also automatically terminated by the internal charger of the smartphone or tablet, etc., as soon as the battery is full.Nevertheless, it is helpful to know how long a full charge theoretically takes with an empty battery. This is the only way to choose the right solar panel model for the requirements of the devices you want to charge.Here is a short calculation: Divide the capacity of the battery (mAh) by the charging current of the charger (mA) and multiply this by a factor of 75. This then gives you the approximate charging time in minutes that is required to fully charge the battery at 100% sunshine duration.Example: A battery with a capacity of 3000mAh (3.0 Ah) and a charging current via 5 volt USB connection of 2400mA (2.4 amps). So 3000 : 2400 x 75 = 94 minutes. Dividing the result by 60 gives the charging time in hours: 1.6 hours.This means that an average smartphone can be fully charged in just about 1.6 hours with a 21-watt solar panel.
Carabiner hook for attachment included
In order to attach the solar panel securely to an object and align it perfectly with the sun, 4 sturdy snap hooks are included in the scope of delivery. Simply connect them to the riveted ring eyelets of the solar panel and use them to hang the solar charger stably, e.g. on a tent loop, a fence or other suitable holding points. If you attach it to your backpack, you can even use the time during a hike for charging.
Innovative solar cell technology with high efficiency Monocrystalline silicium cells ensure high efficiency and the fastest possible charging of the device batteries. This means maximum electricity yield per solar surface. As a result, you benefit from relatively high charging currents and short charging times with a compact design.Easy transportThanks to the modern and flat design, you can easily fold the individual segments of the solar panel into a small bag and stow it in your luggage while saving space. Always ready for the next spontaneous use.Robust, dust- and water-repellent materials The durable Cordura fabric is extremely tear-resistant but still flexible. It protects the valuable solar panel from damage and provides the necessary stability during use. The solar panel is dust- and water-repellent, it withstands most weather conditions and is your ideal companion for almost all outdoor activities. Nevertheless, the solar panel should not be exposed to direct rain or extreme humidity.IMPORTANT NOTESThe solar panel does not have an integrated charger or charge controller. Therefore, it is not suitable for directly charging loose battery cells or lead batteries. It is only suitable for smartphones, tablets and power banks, for example, because they always have built-in internal chargers.The solar panel does not have its own battery, but serves exclusively as a power source in sunshine for charging electronic devices.When connecting the devices to be charged via the DC bar plug, always ensure the required voltage and correct polarity. Otherwise, damage may occur to the electronics of the solar panel and the devices to be charged.Do not leave the solar panel outdoors at night with high humidity or in the rain. This could damage the internal electronics.

Besides air turbulence, the brightening of the night sky is the biggest obstacle to observing faint objects beyond the solar system. Street lamps and other artificial lighting mean that the sky in human settlements is no longer really black. This affects the contrast and thus the perception of deep-sky objects. Depending on the type of celestial object, however, part of disturbing artificial light can be filtered out, making it easier to observe fainter targets.The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC CITY LIGHT SUPRESSION - or CLS - filter uses the fact that the artificial lighting is not evenly distributed over the entire spectrum. These colours - in the case of the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC CLS nebula filter, above all the typical colours of mercury and high-pressure lamps, used in street lighting - are suppressed, but the emissions of deep-sky objects are allowed through. With a slightly brightened sky, some relatively bright deep-sky objects are practically invisible with a telescope, for example the large galaxy M101. Using this filter makes observation much easier. A must have for any visual amateur astronomer. The CLS can also be used as a useful photographic filter - helping to improve the quality of your telescopic deep sky photos.The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC nebula filters are delivered with an individual test report - so you can be sure of receiving high-quality filters.SPECIFICATIONS:eliminates disturbing light - e.g. from street lightingenables observation of faint deep sky objectsWHAT'S INCLUDED:1x nebula filter

Giant binoculars for observing the starry sky, nature and landscape. Observe
the beauty of the starry sky at night and distant objects in nature
during the day. Globular star clusters, glowing gas nebulae, the moon
with its craters and even planets can be observed wonderfully on a clear
night. But also all other distant things in nature and landscape, even
ships and airplanes can be seen in detail. With the all-round binoculars
of the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC BT series, you can get up very close. Thanks
to the large, light-gathering lenses and the professional coatings on
all lens surfaces, these binoculars produce bright and brilliant images
even at night and at twilight, providing a special viewing pleasure. The
comfortable 45 degree viewing angle allows fatigue-free use even when
the binoculars are tilted strongly. Large binoculars can also be called a double refractor telescope One
complete lens telescope with the full light gathering power is
available per eye. Experience a whole new dimension of observing.
Objects are reproduced almost vividly in these binoculars and observing
with both eyes is basically very relaxed. Last but not least, this
comfortable way of observation increases the recognition of the finest
details and effectively prevents rapid eye fatigue. Extremely robust binoculars with magnesium housing, sealed and filled with nitrogen The
BT series binoculars are designed for tough outdoor use. The IPX6
sealed and nitrogen-filled design effectively prevents fogging of the
internal optics even under difficult weather conditions. The very light
magnesium housing saves weight and makes it easy to handle.
Two EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 20mm eyepieces of the 62 degree LER series
already included. EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC is an established manufacturer of
extremely high-quality eyepieces in the astronomy scene. An optical
system is only as good as its weakest component. Therefore we have
decided to deliver these giant binoculars with a pair of quality
eyepieces of the 62 degree LER series. With an apparent field of view of
62 degrees and a focal length of 20mm, the BT-100 binoculars produce a 28x magnification. Thus these wide angle eyepieces offer a very good
overview (field of view 2,3 degree) at moderate magnification. The large
interpupillary distance of these LER (long eye relief) eyepieces of
15mm and soft silicone eyecups, which can be turned inside out, also
guarantee a comfortable and relaxed view. For astronomy, a flat and
sharp image field is advantageous and offers a particularly impressive
viewing experience even during the day. Due to the waterproof design and
the argon filling, these eyepieces are absolutely durable and easy to
clean. Interchangeable eyepieces with 1.25 inch / 31.7mm plug-in diameter Adjust
the magnification and field of view to your individual needs and choose
from a wide range of available eyepieces. All eyepiece types with a
plug-in diameter of 1.25 inch / 31.7mm can be used with the binoculars
of the BT series. Especially recommended are EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC
eyepieces of the 62 and 82 degree series with focal lengths from 8 to
26mm (see item No. 02188xx and 02196xx). The magnification can be varied
from 21x to 70x (focal length binoculars : focal length eyepiece =
magnification). The eyepieces are held in the binoculars by a precise
brass compression ring clamp and guarantee a tilt free position. Use of color and nebula filters for astronomical observations Increase
the contrast and visibility of objects and details by screwing the
corresponding filters directly into the thread of the eyepiece sleeves.
The use of color and nebula filters must of course always be done in
pairs. Suitable are all EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC screw filters with 1.25inch /
31.7mm diameter (see item No. 03102xx) Comfortable 45 degree view and helical single focus The
45-degree viewing angle allows a relaxed observation position even when
the binoculars are tilted strongly. Also the individual interpupillary
distance can be adjusted in a range from 54 to 76mm. With the fine
helical individual focusing, precise focusing is achieved effortlessly.
Extendable dew caps
The integrated dew caps can be removed in high humidity and cold
conditions. This avoids fogging of the outer objective lenses and
effectively shields additional control light coming in from the side. Integrated carrying handle A
metal carrying handle located at the center of gravity facilitates
transport and ensures a secure hold during tripod assembly. Suitable tripods and tripod connectionWhen
using these large binoculars, a sturdy photo tripod with an appropriate
load capacity is highly recommended. The connection is made via two 1/4
inch or one 3/8 inch threaded holes (standard photo tripod thread) in
the tripod adapter of the binoculars. The ideal solution is to use the

With the U-mount there is no shaking or annoying vibrations, the combination is as solid as a piece of iron and provides unlimited observation pleasure in all binocular adjustment positions. Whether you are observing the starry sky or the landscape, the U-mount is a solid base for your giant binocular and allows soft and smooth movements in both axes.The U-mount as a base for giant binoculars and always with you on every excursionAn easily transportable but solid mount is essential when using giant binoculars. A simple photo tripod with ball head or video tilt head is quickly overloaded here. The new EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC U-mount has an excellent mechanism with adjustable friction in both axes, and allows easy adjustment and tracking even when the load is fully utilised. Depending on the adjusted intensity of the friction, the binocular position is kept stable or a soft and smooth movement can be achieved. The large adjustment screws on both axes are smooth and easy to operate even with gloves and clammy fingers. Vibrations are reduced to an absolute minimum by the solid construction of the U-mount. Even at high magnification, there are no shakes and the finest details can be observed. The U-mount and tripod can be separated for easy transport.Mounting the large binoculars on the U-mountThe binoculars can be mounted and removed in a few seconds using the quick-release adapter plate included in the scope of delivery. This is a major advantage, especially for mobile outdoor use. The connection between binoculars and adapter plate is made by two 1/4 inch threaded bolts (standard photo tripod thread), which are variably guided in a slotted hole. A universal use with different binoculars is thus possible. The double screw connection guarantees a very secure fit of the binoculars. The adapter plate itself is also attached to the U-mount with the help of two large clamping screws, which are easy to use even when wearing gloves. Nothing wobbles here and all controls are easy to use.The field tripod provides a secure standNo matter what the surface, the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC field tripod provides a safe stand. The solid aluminium and stainless steel construction effectively suppresses any kind of vibration. The large 50mm diameter stainless steel tripod legs and the aluminium tripod head plate are an ideal combination and offer maximum stability with a moderate transport weight of only 5.8kg. With applied and retracted tripod legs, the transport dimension is only 80cm long. The included accessory tray additionally gives some tension outwards to the tripod legs and thus to increase the stability. By pulling out the tripod legs, the working height for the binoculars can be individually adjusted within a range of approx. 100 to 140cm.

Ultra Light Dobsonian 254mm GENERATION II - with completely redesigned and improved construction.No telescope type has influenced amateur astronomy as radically as the
dobsonian telescope. Before the introduction of this telescope type by
John Dobson the vast majority of amateur telescopes were small
inadequate refractors on shaky mounts - just good enough to show the
polar regions on mars or the rings of Saturn. Bigger telescopes, like
the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, were restricted to the relatively
small group of amateurs that could afford them.The brilliant combination
of simple - but effective - mechanics and the largest aperture
available led to a worldwide triumph of this concept. No other telescope
type offers you so much light for your money as a good dobson. We have
taken the motto "held together by gravity and driven by yoghurt power"
and offer a modern version of the classic - designed by amateur
astronomers for amateur astronomers. Despite its large aperture the
telescope can be transported easily even in small cars and is assembled
within minutes without tools. The construction was optimized for maximum
rigidity with a minimum of mass. The combination of big altitude wheels
and a optimized aluminium-sandwich construction allows for small
movements even at high magnifications. The focus position is already
positioned to accept our coma-corrector. The ideal workhorse for the
deep-sky enthusiast. A telescope with 254mm aperture gathers more than
1300-times more light than the naked eye. Details on planetary surfaces
stand out even to unexperienced observers, and countless deep-sky
objects show details. Bright globular clusters are resolved down to the
core and the view of the lunar terminator will provide a unforgettable
experience.Dimensions for mobile use: Rockerbox 395mmx395mmx310mm; Mirrorbox 330mmx330mmx295mm; Trusses approx.700mmEyepiece Height while pointing at zenith approximately 1,15m; 10“ Net total weight: 26,4 kg; 10“ Mirror Box: 14 kg; 10“ Secondary cage +Rockerbox: 9,7kg; 10“ 4 Pairs of trusses: 1,5kg; 10“ Altitude Wheels: 1,2kg ; Focuser thread: M54 x 0.75 mm.

Universal Dark-Sky Filter with 77mm thread for photo lens. Contrast enhancing filter for Aurora- and Deep-Sky imaging.
Especially during Aurora imaging the most important wavelength of 550nm (green) and 630nm (red) this filter let pass by 90%.
In comparrision to CLS filters, the Explore Scientific Dark-Sky Filter is blocking also the yellow Sodium (Na) wave at 590nm which elliminates Sodium-lamp street illumination from your picture.
This is very useful because the yellow light is always a partially mix of green and red light. Removing the yellow wave-length with any image processing software will always damping also the green and red coloring. For Aurory imaging this is of course not wanted.
At these days of increasing light pollution, the Explore Scientific Dark-Sky Filter is absolutely recommended in order to take pictures also from urban conditions.
Finally the slim housing design enables its use also with wide-field photo lens and doesn´t cause any vignetting.

One of the most important obstacles for the exploration of the night sky is the brightening of the night sky by artificial lights, such as streetlights. The night sky is not really dark in the vicinity of towns or cities, which reduces the visibility of objects bejond the solar systems enourmously. Depending on the type of the celestial object it is possible to increase the contrast dramatically by blocking the annoying artifical light. The Explore Scientific H-beta filter uses a characteristic property of the so called emmission nebulae. Those objekcts glow in special colors, the so called emmission lines. Those emmission lines are linked to chemical elements - in this case hydrogen. The Explore Scientific H-beta nebula filter blocks all other colors (and thereby nearly all of the artificial light) and only the emmission line of the hydrogen can pass the filter. The result is astonoishing: suddenly nebulae are visible at locations that were completely empty without filters. In suburbian skies for example the horsehead nebula is almost not visible with a 300mm telescope. By using this filter you can see the nebula and its structures without problems. A must for every visual observer.
The Explore Scientific nebula filters come with a individual test certificate - your guarantee to receive a premium filter.
