Sky-Watcher Evolux 62ED Doublet APO

Sky Watcher's latest offering, the Evolux 62ED, is a cutting-edge telescope designed specifically for astrophotography enthusiasts who seek a lightweight yet powerful optical instrument.

Featuring a two-element optic with an air gap, the Evolux 62ED incorporates a lens made of low dispersion (ED) glass. This innovative design ensures minimal chromatic aberration in the resulting images, meeting the stringent requirements of professional astrophotographers. The telescope's tube boasts a 2.4" diameter focuser with a dual-speed adjustment knob, allowing for precise focusing. Additionally, a dedicated focal length reducer with a magnification factor of 0.9x has been developed exclusively for the Evolux 62ED, enabling increased light transmission to an impressive f/5.8 value.

The optical tube is compatible with mounts adhering to the Vixen standard, and the inclusion of double slots on the tube clamp facilitates the simultaneous use of two accessories, such as a finder and a guider.

Please note that the equatorial mount depicted in the photos is for illustrative purposes only and is not included in the kit.
