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.
