It is suitable for virtually all celestial objects, whether the moon, planets or deep-sky objects – all are equally well suited, provided they are not too faint.
SAFETY NOTICE for SUN OBSERVATION:
Please NEVER observe the sun without suitable protective filters, as this will result in immediate and permanent blindness!
There are various options for safe solar observation, which you can find here in the shop or by contacting us.
Improvements and innovations
The Evostar EDX series now features an enlarged 2.8" focuser with scale and a 360° rotatable adapter for ease of use. It also features a retractable dew cap and a sturdy handle. The new redesigned optic with a lens made of premium Japanese Ohara FPL 53 ED glass eliminate visible chromatic aberrations and offer razor-sharp stars with a pitch-black, high-contrast sky background.
Optical quality
The optics of the Evostar EDX are coated with an exotic metallic coating that enables 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 such as the Evostar EDX series produce the sharpest, highest-quality optical image possible for this aperture.
