We are pleased to present the revised Evostar EDX 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.

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.

Only the Evostar 100EDX has been optically redesigned; all other optics are unchanged from the previous series.

The Evostar EDX series offers a variety of advantages, including:

• Optimally tuned aperture ratio
• Aluminium tube with stray light baffles
• Multi-coated lenses with MHTC coating
