Product Description

Sky-Watcher Evostar-72ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope (10201)

A Compact, High-Precision ED Refractor for Imaging & Visual Astronomy

The Sky-Watcher Evostar-72ED is a high-performance apochromatic doublet refractor, designed for superior colour correction and high-contrast imaging. Featuring a 72mm Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lens element and Schott glass crown, this telescope delivers razor-sharp optics with minimal chromatic aberration, making it an ideal choice for astrophotographers and serious visual observers.

With a fast f/5.8 focal ratio (420mm focal length), the Evostar-72ED is perfect for wide-field deep-sky observation and astrophotography. Its dual-speed 2” Crayford focuser provides precise focusing, making it an excellent instrument for capturing high-resolution celestial images.

Key Features

  • 72mm Apochromatic ED Doublet Refractor: Minimises chromatic aberration for sharp, colour-accurate images.
  • 420mm Focal Length (f/5.8): Fast optics for wide-field deep-sky imaging.
  • Sky-Watcher Metallic High-Transmission Coatings™ (MHC): Maximises light throughput to 99.5%, ensuring brighter, high-contrast views.
  • Dual-Speed 2” Crayford Focuser (10:1 Ratio): Offers smooth, backlash-free focusing for precise astrophotography and visual observing.
  • Removable Dew Shield: Reduces glare and prevents dew build-up for clearer views.
  • Standard Finderscope Shoe: Allows easy attachment of a finder or guide scope.
  • Tube Rings & 45mm Dovetail Bar: Includes 1/4-20 tripod threads for mounting on various tripods and equatorial mounts.
  • Lightweight & Portable: Weighing just 1.95kg and measuring 42cm in length, it’s an ideal grab-and-go setup.
