SKY‑WATCHER ESPRIT – THE SPIRIT OF PERFECTION
Sky‑Watcher’s premium ESPRIT EDX series of 3‑element apochromatic refractors set a new benchmark for optical quality. Their performance rivals - or even surpasses - that of the most renowned high‑end brands.
The Sky-Watcher ESPRIT EDX Super‑Apo triplets are built primarily for demanding astrophotographers, yet they also excel as visual instruments. Their superbly corrected optics deliver high‑contrast, detail‑rich images with virtually no colour fringing, even on the brightest targets, ensuring exceptional sharpness and contrast.
ESPRIT 60EDX – a compact, full‑frame‑capable gem
- Optics: f/6 triplet design featuring a premium Japanese Hoya FCD100 ED glass element.
- Coatings: Every air‑to‑glass surface is treated with exotic metallic anti‑reflection layers, providing light‑throughput of up to 99.5 %. Sky‑Watcher’s proprietary Metallic High‑Transmission Coatings (MHTC) represent the most efficient photon‑preserving coatings available.
- Focuser: Robust CNC‑machined dual‑speed rack‑and‑pinion linear focuser with high load capacity, zero image shift, and a 2.75‑inch indexed drawtube. A rotatable adaptor on the drawtube aids framing.
- Handling: Integrated carrying handle for easy transport.
- Case: Supplied in a soft storage/carrying case.
Included accessories
- Optically matched 3‑element 1.0× M48 field flattener (ideal for astro‑photography at f/6) – standard equipment, adding exceptional value.
Optional accessory
- Optically matched 3‑element 0.75× M48 reducer/field flattener (code OV#20334) for imaging at f/4.5.
Please note: The kit is supplied without eyepiece, star diagonal, or finderscope.
