Sky-Watcher 80 ED 80/600 OTAW Black Diamond

The Sky-Watcher 80/600 ED OTA PRO is a meticulously designed apochromatic optical tube that offers exceptional performance. Notably, one of the lens system components is crafted using high-class, low-dispersion ED (FPL-53) glass. What sets this telescope apart is the incorporation of German glass company Schott AG, renowned for its expertise in optical glass manufacturing (Schott AG is 100% owned by Carl Zeiss AG, a company renowned for its commitment to the highest quality optics design and materials). As a result, this telescope boasts optics that rank among the best in the world, all at a fraction of the cost compared to similar models from Japanese brands.

To maximize optical efficiency, each glass-air surface of the telescope is coated with layers of MHC ("Metallic High-Transmission Coating"), ensuring an impressive single-surface transmission rate of 99.5%.

In addition to its superb optics, the Sky-Watcher 80/600 ED OTA PRO excels in its mechanical design. The telescope features a Crayford-style focuser with a 1:10 microfocus ratio, providing precise and smooth adjustments. The package includes a high-quality two-inch dielectric 90° diagonal with an impressive 98% efficiency, a 2" focal-length 28 mm eyepiece, a 9x50 finder scope with a crosshair reticle and bracket, as well as a dovetail mounting plate.

Whether for planetary observations, astrophotography using "piggy-back" mounting, or simply as an observation telescope, the Sky-Watcher 80/600 ED OTA PRO stands out for its outstanding optical quality.
