Sky-Watcher Esprit 80 mm F/5 refractor (SW-2029)

Sky-Watcher Esprit series refractors are designed for demanding astrophotographers and visual observers who seek uncompromising performance. All Esprit models offer near-total elimination of optical defects across the field of view, including off-axis aberrations such as distortion and chromatic aberration.

The Sky-Watcher Esprit 80 mm f/5 refractor features an apochromatic triplet objective made from premium Schott BK-7 and FPL-53 ED glass. Careful material selection and advanced multi-layer anti-reflective coatings ensure sharp images with excellent color reproduction. An internal baffle system further enhances contrast for high-quality observations and astrophotography.

This telescope includes a dedicated field flattener with an M48 connector, ensuring optimal imaging performance. It is paired with a robust 2.7" focuser capable of supporting up to 5 kg without loss of alignment, making it suitable for use with heavy professional DSLR cameras.
