Skywatcher telescope Evostar 80EDX

80mm (3.1”) f/600 ED Doublet Apochromatic Refractor Telescope

The proven Sky-Watcher Evostar-80ED apochromatic doublet refractor has undergone some fantastic improvements. We are pleased to introduce the new Evostar-80EDX model, which has received several very useful mechanical improvements. It comes in a beautiful white/green finish. The Evostar-80EDX is an excellent instrument for both visual observation and photographic use, with all the necessary accessories included.

The new Evostar-80EDX now features a magnified 2.8" scale focuser with a 360° rotatable adapter, a retractable dew shield, and a sturdy handgrip.

It features the same proven f/7.5 optics as the previous model, featuring a lens made of premium Japanese Ohara FPL-53 ED glass, which eliminates visible chromatic aberration. The 0.85x Focal Reducer/Field Flattener (20236) is available as an option for photography.

The optics deliver razor-sharp stars with a pitch-black, high-contrast sky background. Each glass-to-air surface is coated with an exotic metallic coating, enabling an impressive 99.5% light transmission. Sky-Watcher's proprietary "Metallic High-Transmission Coatings" (MHTC) are among the finest anti-reflective coatings in their class.

Apochromatic refractors, with their unobstructed, picture-perfect diffraction patterns, produce the sharpest, highest-quality optical images possible for this aperture of any available optical system.

Evostar-ED doublets have long been the best choice of photographic refractors for many astrophotographers due to their combination of excellent imaging performance and affordable price. Due to the use of less glass in their construction, they are usually lighter and therefore more convenient to transport than comparable triplet or other multi-lens ED refractors with this aperture.

Note: Eyepieces, diagonal, and finderscope are not included.
