The largest Evostar 150EDX is the ideal telescope for viewing the moon and planets.

The 150 mm aperture reveals a great deal of detail on the moon, Mars and Jupiter, but many deep-sky objects also shine brilliantly across a wide field of view.

The tube weight of approx. 15 kg should not be underestimated; it should always be set up with a second person or is ideal for permanent installation in an observatory.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

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.

Due to its heavy weight, it should only be assembled by two people: risk of injury!

Improvements and innovations

The Evostar 150EDX series now features an enlarged 3" focuser with scale and a 360° rotatable adapter for ease of use. It also features a retractable dew cap and a sturdy handle. The proven optics 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.
