We are pleased to present the revised Sky-Watcher Evostar 80ED series, which has undergone a number of useful mechanical improvements. The telescopes come in an attractive white with green accents and are ideal for both visual observation and photographic use.
The smallest Evostar is ideal for travelling or for small travel mounts due to its compact dimensions.
It shows its strengths when observing large celestial objects, but even the first walks on the moon and in our planetary system reveal details.
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 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.
