Skywatcher telescope Evostar 120EDX

120mm (4.75”) f/900 ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope

The Sky-Watcher Evostar-120ED apochromatic doublet refractor has undergone some fantastic improvements. We are pleased to introduce the new Evostar-120EDX model, which has received several very useful mechanical improvements. It comes in a beautiful white/green finish. The Evostar-120EDX is an excellent instrument for both visual observation and photographic use, with all the necessary accessories included.

The new Evostar-120EDX now features an enlarged 2.8" scale focuser with a 360° rotatable adapter, a retractable dew shield, and a handle that also serves as a mounting rail.

It features the same proven f/7.5 optics as its predecessor, featuring a lens made of premium Japanese Ohara FPL-53 ED glass, eliminating visible chromatic aberration. The optional 0.85x Focal Reducer/Field Flattener (20234) is available for photography.

The optics deliver razor-sharp stars with a pitch-black, high-contrast sky background. Every 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, thanks to their combination of excellent imaging performance and affordable price. Due to the use of minimal glass in their construction, they are generally 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.
