Sky-Watcher Apochromatic refractor AP 62/400 Evolux-62ED Star Adventurer GTi Wi-Fi GoTo SET (with tripod) (79175)

This set includes:

• Skywatcher Apochromatic Refractor AP 62/400 Evolux-62ED OTA
• Skywatcher Evolux 62ED 0.9x Flattener
• Skywatcher Mount Star Adventurer GTi Wi-Fi GoTo Set

Elegant design and advanced performance make this set an ideal choice for astrophotographers. The Evolux ED series builds on the success of Skywatcher's Evostar ED refractors, providing a lightweight, high-performance option for capturing wide-field celestial images. Its optical precision and portability also make it suitable for visual observation.

The Evolux telescopes feature a high-quality doublet lens design, combining low-refractive ED glass and advanced coatings like Metallic High-Transmission Coating (MHTC™) for up to 99.5% light transmission. This ensures sharp, high-contrast stellar images with minimal color aberrations. Shipped with a foam-lined aluminum case, the telescope includes a 2.4” dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser, a tube bracket with Vixen-style prism rails, and a retractable dew cap for compact transport.

Astrophotographers will appreciate the included flattener, which eliminates field curvature for sharp stellar images across the entire image field. The optional reducer shortens focal length, delivering faster optics and shorter exposure times for capturing larger astronomical objects.

The Star Adventurer GTi mount sets a new standard for lightweight astrophotography mounts. With features like a built-in illuminated polar scope, USB interface, autoguider connector, and programmable DSLR connection, it offers precision and versatility. Integrated Wi-Fi enables control via smartphone or tablet using the SynScan app. It supports GoTo functionality with tracking speeds for the Sun, Moon, and stars.

Additional Features:

• Load capacity up to 5 kg for DSLR cameras, telephoto lenses, or small refractors
• Compatibility with Vixen-style prism rails
• Tripod connection via 3/8” camera thread
• Battery-powered or external 12V power source

This set is designed for astrophotographers seeking a balance of performance, portability, and advanced technology.
