SkyWatcher Evostar 72ED with 0.85x Field Flattener
Sky-Watcher 72ED: Apochromatic ED Refractor with 0.85x Field Flattener and Hard Case
The new Sky-Watcher 72ED is an apochromatic ED doublet refractor designed to deliver images with extremely high contrast and no chromatic aberration. Thanks to the Extra Low Dispersion (ED) optics, it offers outstanding sharpness and optical precision, making it ideal for both deep-sky astrophotography and visual observations of the Moon, planets, and terrestrial objects.
Perfect for Astrophotography: Includes 0.85x Field Flattener
The 0.85x field flattener is included as standard, reducing focal length and correcting the field to eliminate distortions at the edges of the sensor. This makes it perfect for wide-field astrophotography, especially for capturing nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies.
With a fast f/5.8 focal ratio and the field flattener, this telescope becomes even faster and more efficient, increasing the brightness of celestial objects and reducing exposure times.
High-Quality Observations in Any Condition
This 72mm apochromatic refractor is also excellent for terrestrial observations and lunar and planetary viewing, thanks to its high contrast and ability to handle atmospheric turbulence. The compact size and lightweight design of just 1.9 kg make it a perfect grab-and-go telescope, easy to transport and set up anywhere.
Precision Focusing for Advanced Imaging
The telescope is equipped with a 2-inch Crayford dual-speed focuser with 1:10 fine adjustment, providing smooth and precise focusing—essential for deep-sky astrophotography and high-resolution imaging.
Complete Set: Ready to Use
- 0.85x field flattener for a wider field of view and improved image quality
- Mounting rings with EQ5 dovetail bar, compatible with most mounts
- Custom aluminum hard case for optimal protection during transport
