Skywatcher EVOSTAR ED80 Pro - ED APO 80/600mm - optical tube assembly - Black Line ... for visual observing and astro photography - 2" Crayford focuser with 1:11 micro transmission EVOSTAR ED Refractors by Skywatcher offer good performance for either visual observers and astro photographers also. The optical quality makes these models a reference for their class. The objective features extra low dispersion glass (FPL-53) from Ohara, Japan. This design allows reducing false colour down to a non-disturbing minimum. The results are crisp and high-contrast views and photos. Very elegant design... not only a look through this telescope fills with enthusiasm but also the elegant finish convinces. The OTA itself has shimmering black paint, the focuser, clampshells and parts of the dewcap are cream white.

2" Crayford focuser with 1:11 transmission An Evostar's special novum is the solid 1:11 Crayford focuser. It allows very fine focusing what is especially important for astro photography. High performance tele objective The very good optical performance can (for astro photography) be further enhanced by installing the optional TS field flattener. It makes this telescope a high-performance astro imager with exceptional definition over the full field without vignetting. Direct link to the TS Flattener
