Stellar Visual ClarityHigh Precision Apochromatic Refractor Performance
The Sky-Watcher EvoStar 120ED APO Refractor Telescope delivers premium optical clarity for demanding astronomers who require outstanding contrast and pinpoint star definition. Equipped with an impressive 120mm aperture and synthetic FPL-53 ED glass, this refractor produces breathtaking views of lunar, planetary, and deep-sky targets. Whether used for serious visual observing or advanced astrophotography, this telescope provides exceptional high-fidelity views on a dark, velvet-black sky background.
Uncompromised Optical PerfectionAdvanced Lens Coatings and Precision Engineering
Designed to eliminate chromatic aberration, the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 120ED APO Refractor Telescope utilizes a doublet lens cell combining premium FPL-53 extra-low dispersion glass with a crown element crafted from world-class Schott glass. Every optical surface is treated with Sky-Watcher's proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHC) to optimize light transmission and eliminate ghosting. The rigid, baffled optical tube prevents internal stray light reflections, while the 2-inch dual-speed Crayford focuser provides ultra-smooth, backlash-free adjustment essential for sharp planetary views and crisp long-exposure astrophotography.

Frequently Asked QuestionsEverything you need to know
What eyepieces are included with the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 120ED APO Refractor Telescope?
The Sky-Watcher EvoStar 120ED APO Refractor Telescope includes 25mm LET and 5mm planetary 1.25-inch eyepieces, providing magnification levels of 45x and 180x right out of the box.
Is the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 120ED APO Refractor Telescope suitable for astrophotography?
Yes, the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 120ED APO Refractor Telescope functions outstandingly as an astrograph, delivering flat, color-corrected images across the focal plane for planetary and deep-sky imaging.
What mount works best with the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 120ED APO Refractor Telescope?
Because the tube assembly weighs approximately 13.9 lbs with accessories, the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 120ED APO Refractor Telescope pairs best with a medium to heavy-duty equatorial mount rated for at least 20 lbs payload capacity.
How does the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 120ED APO Refractor Telescope eliminate false color?
The Sky-Watcher EvoStar 120ED APO Refractor Telescope uses extra-low dispersion (ED) optical glass (FPL-53) combined with a premium Schott crown element to eliminate chromatic aberration.
