Skywatcher Apochromatic Refractor AP 82/530 Evolux-82ED OTA

Elegant design combined with the performance of a new generation of telescopes!

Based on the popular Evostar series with doublet ED refractors, Skywatcher has developed their brand new Evolux ED series. This appeals to ambitious astrophotographers who are looking for a lightweight, high-performance telescope. Of course, with their higher performance levels, the Evolux ED models are also excellent for visual observation.

Evolux telescopes are perfect wide field instruments, ideal for observing and photographing larger sections of the sky. The doublet lens consists of a combination of optical glasses, including low-refractive ED glass elements, and therefore produces sharp stellar images at high contrasts and with non-detectable colour errors. All lens elements are coated with Skywatcher's advanced Metallic High-Transmission Coating (MHTC™), one of the highest quality multi-coatings in its class and enables light transmission of up to 99.5%.

Evolux telescopes are shipped in a foam-lined aluminium case and come with a 2.4” dual-speed rack and pinion focuser and a tube bracket with Vixen-style prism rails. The dew cap can be retracted for easier transportation.

An optional flattener is available for photography. This aid ensures sharp stellar images, even at the corners of the image field, and reduces the focal length, turning the Evolux into a speedy, four-lens corrected lens for astrophotography.
