Product Description

Sky-Watcher Evolux-82ED Refractor Telescope OTA (10197) – High-Performance, Lightweight & Wide-Field

Optimised for Astrophotography & Visual Observation

The Sky-Watcher Evolux-82ED is a premium apochromatic ED doublet refractor, designed to deliver exceptional wide-field astrophotography and high-contrast visual observations. As an upgrade to the popular Evostar series, the Evolux ED series features enhanced optics and mechanical improvements, making it a lightweight yet powerful grab-and-go telescope.

Built with extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, the Evolux-82ED virtually eliminates chromatic aberration, ensuring sharp, pinpoint stars and contrast-rich backgrounds. Whether you're an astrophotographer seeking a fast, flat imaging system or a visual observer looking for crisp planetary and deep-sky views, this telescope offers outstanding performance.

Key Features

  • 82mm Apochromatic ED Doublet Refractor: Features a proprietary combination of optically matched lenses, including one ED lens element for superb colour correction.
  • Focal Length: 530mm (f/6.45): Provides a wide-field view, perfect for deep-sky imaging and visual astronomy.
  • Optional 0.9x Reducer/Flattener: Reduces focal length to 477mm (f/5.8) for an even wider 5.09° field of view, with a flat field for astrophotography.
  • Sky-Watcher Metallic High-Transmission Coatings™ (MHTC™): Maximises light transmission up to 99.5%, ensuring bright, high-contrast images.
  • Dual-Speed 2.4” Rack & Pinion Focuser (11:1 Reduction): Provides precise focusing, essential for high-resolution imaging and visual use.
  • 2" Visual Adapter with Compression Ring: Holds eyepieces and accessories securely without marring the barrel.
  • Clamshell Ring with 45mm Dovetail Bar: Ensures secure mounting on a variety of tripods and equatorial mounts.
  • Adjustable Dew Shield: Helps reduce glare and prevent dew buildup for optimal performance.

Perfect for Astrophotography

The Evolux-82ED is designed for serious astrophotographers, offering:

  • Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) Glass: Reduces chromatic aberration for sharp, distortion-free stars.
  • Optional 0.9x Focal Reducer/Field Flattener: Converts the telescope into a four-element optical system with two ED lenses, creating a flat field for deep-sky imaging.
  • Lightweight & Compact Design: Easily mounts on small equatorial mounts for portable astrophotography.

Exceptional for Visual Astronomy

While optimised for imaging, the Evolux-82ED also provides impressive visual performance, making it ideal for:

  • Lunar and planetary observation with high contrast and detail
  • Rich-field views of open star clusters, nebulae, and bright galaxies
  • Double star and deep-sky observing with pinpoint clarity
