Apochromatic refractors, such as the SkyWatcher Evostar ED 80/600 apo, occupy a special place among amateur astronomers' instruments. Thanks to their special glass material, their lenses are free of the colour aberrations that characterise acromatic lenses, giving them unparalleled contrast and sharpness. With the SkyWatcher Evostar ED 80/600 telescope, the Moon, with its seas, tiny craters and troughs, is sure to be a breathtaking sight. And Jupiter's cloud-streaked disk or Saturn's magnificent ring seem to "float" in space.
The telescope's short focal length of 600 mm is particularly useful for photography: its huge field of view allows you to see even the largest star clusters and nebulae. The excellent optics provide sharp, contrasty images at high magnifications of up to 160x, and SkyWatcher's unique MHC anti-reflection coating ensures maximum light transmission (99.5%).
The most magnificent objects in the universe can be seen even at the highest magnifications.The tube is fitted with a precision 2" Crayford focuser. The tube ring and prismatic lens are standard accessories!
