The Sky-Watcher Evostar 80EDX APO Refractor is a limited-edition apochromatic telescope built for crisp visual astronomy and serious astrophotography performance.
Featuring an 80mm aperture, 600mm focal length, and f/7.5 focal ratio, this compact refractor delivers sharp, high-contrast views of the Moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae, and deep-sky targets.
Its ED doublet air-spaced optical design uses premium FPL-53 glass to reduce chromatic aberration and help produce clean, color-accurate images.
Fully multi-coated optics with Sky-Watcher’s Metallic High-Transmission Coatings help maximize light transmission while enhancing contrast against dark skies.
The lightweight doublet design makes the Evostar 80EDX easier to mount, transport, and balance compared to heavier triplet refractors.
A premium 2.8-inch dual-speed Crayford-style focuser with an 11:1 fine-focus ratio allows smooth, precise focusing for both visual observing and imaging.
The included camera angle adjuster makes framing astrophotography targets more convenient without disturbing focus.
A glossy white metal-flake aluminum optical tube gives this limited-edition refractor a clean, elegant look while keeping the OTA durable and lightweight.
The thread-on dew shield helps protect the front objective from stray light and moisture during long observing or imaging sessions.
Ideal for amateur astronomers looking for a portable, high-quality APO refractor telescope for astrophotography and visual astronomy.
