Who Bresser is
The Bresser Corporation is a Germany-based manufacturer and distributor of optical devices such as binoculars, astronomical telescopes, microscopes. In addition, the company also has a separate consumer electronics division for weather stations and action cameras since 2016. The main supplier for the company is Jinghua Optical & Electronics Co., Ltd. (JOC).
Bresser has been founded in 1957 and based in Germany. It is one of the makers whose telescopes amateur astronomers meet most often, so understanding its ranges helps when you are choosing a scope or fitting accessories to one you already own.
What they are known for
Bresser is a German brand known for affordable refractors, Newtonian reflectors and Messier-series telescopes and mounts aimed at beginners and value-minded observers across Europe.
Ranges from a single maker often span several optical designs and both beginner and premium tiers, so two telescopes wearing the same badge can behave very differently. The important numbers for choosing an eyepiece are always the telescope's own aperture, focal length and focuser size, not the brand on the tube.
Fitting eyepieces and accessories to a Bresser telescope
Whatever telescope you own from this maker, the eyepiece maths is the same: magnification is the telescope's focal length divided by the eyepiece's focal length, and the true field of view is the eyepiece's apparent field divided by that magnification. Confirm your own model's focal length and focuser barrel size, since a range can span several designs and both 1.25 inch and 2 inch fittings.
A longer focal-length scope reaches high power with ordinary eyepieces, while a short fast scope needs shorter eyepieces for the same magnification and rewards better-corrected glass. Use the Fit My Telescope tool with your exact focal length to get the magnification, true field and exit pupil for any eyepiece pairing before you buy.
