Product Description
About This Item
Introducing the Sky-Watcher USA EvoStar 72ED Optical Tube Assembly - a premium refractor telescope designed to unlock a superior viewing experience for both beginner and seasoned astronomers alike. Featuring top-of-the-line extra-low dispersion glass, this telescope is equipped with a proprietary combination of matched lenses to deliver unrivaled visual and photographic performance. Say goodbye to color fringing when observing bright planetary objects, as the EvoStar ED refractor minimizes aberration to produce tack-sharp stars. One of the standout features of this telescope is the Metallic High-Transmission Coatings™ (MHTC™) employed by Sky-Watcher.
These coatings virtually eliminate false color, ensuring pristine and accurate visuals. Additionally, the optical tube is light-baffled to minimize stray light, while the matte black interior finish prevents reflections from reaching the focal plane. The EvoStar ED refractor series is perfect for visual astronomers who also have an interest in astrophotography. The doublet design not only makes the telescope more affordable than triplets, but it also significantly reduces weight.
This means that you can invest in a more cost-effective mount, while still having the capability to produce professional-level images. With the money saved, you can even upgrade your camera or laptop to enhance your astrophotography endeavors. Built to impress, the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 72ED features a beautifully crafted tube with a signature Black Diamond metal-flake finish. The front and rear cells are made from textured off-white aluminum casting, giving this telescope a distinctive and premium look.
Whether you are observing from a home observatory or showcasing at an outreach event, this telescope will stand out amongst the crowd. The EvoStar 72ED comes complete with rings and a dovetail, providing a hassle-free and ready-to-use setup. Its 2” dual-speed Crayford-style focuser ensures precise focusing with minimal image shift, thanks to its roller bearings. For transport convenience, this optical tube also comes with a foam-lined aluminum case, protecting your investment during star parties or field-based observations. Upgrade your stargazing experience with the Sky-Watcher USA EvoStar 72ED Optical Tube Assembly.
Explore the universe like never before with unmatched visual and photographic capabilities. Elevate your astronomy game with this exceptional refractor telescope from Sky-Watcher.
