The Sky-Watcher EvoStar 80ED Telescope delivers virtually color-free wide-field astronomical views and high-contrast astrophotography performance. Featuring premium FPL-53 ED glass and a precision 80mm doublet lens design, this portable optical tube assembly delivers textbook-pure star images and exceptional planetary contrast. Ideal for both seasoned astrophotographers and visual observers seeking lightweight optical excellence.
Ultimate Optical PrecisionEngineered for Crisp Deep-Space Views
Designed for demanding observers, the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 80ED Telescope utilizes an advanced apochromatic doublet objective featuring Schott crown glass and synthetic FPL-53 extra-low dispersion (ED) glass. This exotic combination virtually eliminates residual chromatic aberration, revealing fine detail in Jupiter's cloud belts, Saturn's rings, and bright nebulae against velvet-black backgrounds. Every lens surface is treated with proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHC) to optimize light throughput and suppress unwanted internal reflections. Complete with a smooth 2-inch dual-speed Crayford-style focuser, included 8x50 RACI finderscope, 2-inch dielectric diagonal, and aluminum foam-lined travel case, the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 80ED is the ultimate portable refractor telescope setup for deep-sky observation and sky photography.
