Sky-Watcher Apochromatic refractor AP 62/400 Evolux-62ED Star Adventurer GTi Wi-Fi GoTo SET (without tripod)

This set comprises:

• Skywatcher Evolux 62ED 0.9x flattener
• Skywatcher Mount Star Adventurer GTi Wi-Fi GoTo

Experience the fusion of elegant design and cutting-edge telescope performance with the Skywatcher Evolux ED series, a new breed of telescopes building upon the renowned Evostar lineage. Crafted for ambitious astrophotographers seeking lightweight yet high-performance instruments, the Evolux ED models excel not only in imaging but also in visual observation.

Ideal for wide-field observation and photography, Evolux telescopes boast a doublet lens architecture incorporating a blend of optical glasses, including low-refractive ED glass elements, ensuring sharp, high-contrast stellar images devoid of color errors. Each lens element features Skywatcher's advanced Metallic High-Transmission Coating (MHTC™), achieving exceptional light transmission of up to 99.5%.

Evolux telescopes arrive in a foam-lined aluminum case and include a 2.4” dual-speed rack and pinion focuser and a tube bracket with Vixen-style prism rails. The retractable dew cap facilitates transport.

For photography, an optional flattener is available, ensuring sharp stellar images across the image field and reducing the focal length, transforming the Evolux into a swift, four-lens corrected lens.

The Reducer (for focal length reduction) enhances the aperture ratio, shortening exposure times and expanding the field of view for observing or photographing larger celestial objects.

The Star Adventurer GTi sets new benchmarks for lightweight and portable astrophotography mounts. Featuring a built-in illuminated polarscope for precision orientation, USB interface, autoguider connector, and hand-held control capability, the GTi offers versatile control options. With integrated WiFi, the mount can be operated via smartphone or tablet using the SynScan app.
