ESPRIT 60EDX  F/6 SUPER APO TRIPLET REFRACTOR (COMPLETE WITH M48 FIELD FLATTENER)

SKY-WATCHER ESPRIT, THE SPIRIT OF PERFECTION!

Sky-Watcher's new top-of-the-line ESPRIT EDX 3-Element ED apochromatic refractors are premium instruments of the highest quality with truly stunning optical performance rivalling or exceeding similar telescopes of even the most famous high-end telescope brands.
ESPRIT EDX Super Apo Triplets are designed primarily for the most demanding astro-imagers but are also fine telescopes for visual observations. The premium, superbly corrected optical systems deliver high-contrast images full of detail and zero detectable colour fringing, even on the brightest of objects, yielding exceptional contrast and sharpness.

The ESPRIT 60EDX is a new model in the range and is a compact gem of a telescope that is full-frame capable. Features an outstanding f/6 triplet optical system, which includes one premium Japanese Hoya FCD100 ED glass lens element. Each air-to-glass lens surface has exotic anti-reflection metallic coatings applied, to ensure optimum light throughput approaching 99.5%!! The proprietary Sky-Watcher “Metallic High-Transmission Coatings” (MHTC) are the finest photon anti-rejection coatings in their class!

The ESPRIT 60EDX does not include a rotatable main focuser but there is a rotatable adaptor provided on the focuser drawtube to assist with framing your images. A carrying handle is provided for convenience. Features a rock-solid CNC Machined dual-speed rack & pinion linear power focuser with high load capacity and zero image shift, with a 2.75" indexed drawtube. Supplied in a soft storage/carrying case.

The kit is supplied as standard with its own optically matched 3-Element 1.0x M48 field flattener for astro-photography at f/6 making it a kit of outstanding value.

In addition, an optically matched 3-Element 0.75x M48 Reducer/Field Flattener (code 20334) is available as an optional accessory for imaging at f/4.5.

Please note: Supplied without eyepiece, star diagonal & finderscope.
