Sky-Watcher BK 100ED OTAW

The Sky-Watcher 100/600 ED APO OTAW is the larger sibling of the highly acclaimed ED80 telescope. With a larger 100 mm lens and an impressive 900 mm focal length, this telescope offers a significant increase in resolution and even lower chromatic aberration. It is an excellent piece of equipment for observing and photographing objects within the Solar System and compact star clusters. By attaching the optional flattener/focal length x0.85, you can achieve a focal length of 765 mm and a light-gathering f/7.65 ratio, enabling you to delve into astrophotography of deep space objects.

Unparalleled Optics: One of the lens system elements is crafted from top-of-the-line, low-dispersion ED (FPL-53) glass. Notably, the telescope utilizes German glass from Schott AG, a leading company in the field of optical glass. Schott AG, which is 100% owned by Carl Zeiss AG, renowned for its exceptional optical designs and high-quality materials, ensures that the telescope boasts some of the world's finest optics. Surpassing the performance of comparable telescopes from Japanese brands, the Sky-Watcher 100/600 ED APO OTAW offers exceptional quality at a fraction of the price.

Superior Coatings: Every glass-air surface of the telescope is treated with layers of Metallic High-Transmission Coating (MHC). This advanced coating technology guarantees an impressive 99.5% efficiency on a single surface, allowing for optimal light transmission and enhanced image quality.

Outstanding Mechanical Design: The telescope's mechanical components are of exceptional quality. The Crayford Rack & Pinion system with a 1:10 micro focuser ensures smooth and precise adjustments, enabling you to achieve accurate focus effortlessly. The package includes a high-quality two-inch dielectric 90° diagonal with 98% efficiency, a 2" focal-length 28 mm eyepiece, an 8x50 finder scope with a crosshair reticle, and a bracket with a dovetail mount.
