Unmatched Celestial ViewsPrecision Apochromatic Optics for Astrophotography
The Sky-Watcher Evostar 150 APO Refractor Telescope provides the finest celestial images obtainable in its design class. Featuring a matched doublet lens assembly with an ED element, this premium refractor telescope delivers dramatic, coal-black skies and contrast-rich planetary observations. It serves as the logical choice for discriminating amateur astronomers seeking high-end optics for visual viewing and deep-space astrophotography.
Ultimate Optical PerformanceAdvanced ED Optics for Discriminating Astronomers
Designed for severe optical demands, the Sky-Watcher Evostar 150 APO Refractor Telescope utilizes a 150mm extra-low dispersion (ED) doublet lens configuration to eliminate chromatic aberration. Combined with an f/8 focal ratio and a 1200mm focal length, this apochromatic refractor telescope yields exceptionally sharp detail on planets, lunar craters, and deep-sky objects. The dual-speed 2-inch Crayford-type focuser provides precise focus adjustments essential for high-magnification observation and imaging. Included tube rings with a V-style dovetail plate ensure steady mounting on compatible equatorial mounts, while the included aluminum hard case offers reliable storage and protection on location.
