Sky Watcher Evostar EDX 80 APO: Stunning Wide-Field Imaging!
The Sky-Watcher 80mm doublet refractor delivers dramatic, coal-black skies and faithful, contrast-rich views of planetary and deep-space phenomenon that are second to none. Whether you are hunting for deep-sky nebulae or capturing the details of planetary features, the Evostar 80EDX is engineered to deliver clarity without the massive weight or heavy price tag of a triplet refractor. Lightweight enough to easily take on any dark-sky adventure, yet robust enough to act as the backbone of your imaging rig, this telescope effortlessly bridges the gap between value and top-tier performance. Elevate your astronomy journey and experience the cosmos like never before with the Sky-Watcher Evostar 80EDX!
Razor-Sharp ED Performance
The Evostar 80EDX uses ED (extra-low dispersion) glass to deliver excellent color correction, pinpoint stars, and rich contrast for both visual observing and astrophotography. The 80mm aperture, 600mm focal length, and f/7.5 focal ratio strikes a balance between sharp planetary detail and wide-field deep-sky capability.
Lightweight Advantage
The efficient doublet design uses less glass than a triplet, helping keep weight and cost lower while maintaining excellent performance. So your budget can stretch toward other upgrades like mounts, cameras and imaging accessories!
*Mounts, tripods, and other accessories imaged are sold separately
Dual-Speed Focuser
A robust 2.8-inch dual-speed Crayford focuser makes fine focus adjustments smooth and precise whether you’re using eyepieces or cameras. The included camera angle adjuster adds convenient framing control for imaging sessions.
Metallic High-Transmission Coatings
The Evostar optical design uses a matched lens system to deliver pinpoint stars, rich contrast, and beautifully dark backgrounds that make your favorite targets stand out. Fluorite-based ED glass elements paired with Sky-Watcher’s Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC™) help virtually eliminate false color while maximizing brightness and clarity. Internal baffling keeps stray light in check for cleaner views and sharper astrophotos. Wrapped in a beautifully crafted aluminum tube with a striking white metal-flake finish, the Evostar looks every bit as impressive as the views it delivers.
Camera Angle Adjuster for Easy Framing
Featuring a built-in camera rotator allows you to smoothly spin your camera 360 degrees, making it easy to perfectly frame deep-sky targets or adjust your composition without having to loosen your entire train. Supporting the telescope is a dual-purpose Vixen-style dovetail bar and integrated carry handle. This combination provides a secure, rock-solid connection to your mount while giving you a comfortable, safe grip when transporting or balancing your telescope.
Thread-on Dew Shield
The Evostar 80EDX comes equipped with a thread-on dew shield designed to provide moisture control and block out stray ambient light. Unlike friction-fit shields that can slip, sag, or accidentally get knocked loose in the dark, this robust, screw-on mechanism ensures a perfectly rigid and reliable fit every time you assemble your telescope. It is the best safeguard for keeping your optics dry and your contrast peak all night long!
