Description
| Discover the unparalleled clarity and precision of the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 80ED / ProED 80mm Doublet APO Refractor Telescope Optical Tube, a high-quality instrument designed for both amateur astronomers and astrophotography enthusiasts. This advanced telescope features a doublet apochromatic lens system with extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, which significantly reduces chromatic aberration and provides high-fidelity, contrast-rich views of celestial wonders. The EvoStar 80ED / ProED is renowned for its ability to produce the sharpest and most accurate images possible from a telescope of its class. The 80mm aperture and 600mm focal length create a powerful combination that allows for an expansive field of view, perfect for observing detailed structural features on planets like Jupiter and Saturn, as well as the intricate crater detail on the Moon's surface. Astrophotographers will appreciate the telescope's wide-field capabilities, making it an exceptional choice for capturing stunning images of nebulae, star clusters, and distant galaxies. The optical tube's innovative design ensures that light is concentrated into the central airy-disk and first diffraction rings, resulting in sharper images without the interference of a central obstruction, a common issue with reflector telescopes. The EvoStar 80ED / ProED is not only powerful but also portable and durable. Its compact size makes it an ideal travel companion for stargazers looking to explore dark-sky locations. The included 2" eyepiece provides a comfortable viewing experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the night sky for extended periods. This refractor telescope stands out with its ultra-high contrast and exquisite detail, enabling users to scrutinize the subtlest celestial features under optimal conditions. The use of fluorite in the second lens element, a material known for its exceptional optical properties, ensures the virtual elimination of residual false color, delivering dramatic, coal-black skies and faithful views that are truly second to none. Whether you're an aspiring astrophotographer or a seasoned stargazer, the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 80ED / ProED 80mm Doublet APO Refractor Telescope Optical Tube is a powerful, innovative, and reliable choice that promises to enhance your astronomical observations and imaging. Discover the universe with clarity and precision like never before with this exceptional instrument from Adorama. |
Features
 | Virtually Eliminates Residual Chromatic Aberration |
| Pride and Perfection in Optical Manufacturing |
| Metallic High-Transmission Lens Coatings: Each air-to-glass lens surface has exotic anti-reflection metallic coatings applied to ensure optimum light through-put. The proprietary Sky-Watcher "Metallic High-Transmission Coatings" (MHC) are the finest photon anti-rejection coatings in their class |
