The new top-of-the-range ESPRIT EDX series from Sky-Watcher, featuring 3-element ED apochromatic optics, offers premium instruments of the highest quality with impressive performance that is comparable even to high-end telescopes.

Optics

The new Sky-Watcher ESPRIT-120EDX model is particularly compact but equipped with full performance. It features an exceptional f/5 optical system with a premium lens made from Japanese Ohara FPL-53 ED glass.

With a 120 mm aperture and 840 mm focal length, it is particularly well suited for planetary observation as it provides sufficient resolution. The focal length is sufficient for higher magnifications, but is still interesting for numerous other celestial objects.

With a tube weight of around 10 kg, it is still very easy to transport.

Coating

Each glass-air surface has been coated with a special anti-reflective metal coating to achieve maximum light transmission of 99.5%. Sky-Watcher's proprietary ‘Metallic High-Transmission Coating’ (MHTC) is the highest quality anti-reflective coating in its class!

Features

The ESPRIT 120EDX features the same outstanding f/7 optical system as the previous model including one premium Japanese Ohara FPL-53 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 120EDX has an improved back end design that dispenses with the capstan wheel design of the previous model, allowing the focuser to be more easily rotated. Additionally, there is a rotatable adaptor provided on the drawtube to further assist in framing your images.

The carrying handle consists of a kind of combined prism rail with a prism clamp at the top for most viewfinder feet à la Vixen System.
This allows you to mount a mini PC (e.g. StellaVita from ToupTek) or other accessories for astrophotography in a very space-saving manner.

Features a rock-solid CNC Machined dual-speed rack & pinion linear power focuser with high load capacity and zero image shift, with a 3" indexed drawtube.

Supplied in a foam lined aluminium framed storage/carrying case.

An optically matched Field Flattener (OV#20189) is available as an optional accessory for imaging.

Please note that the telescope is supplied without eyepieces, zenith mirror/prism and viewfinder.
