Evolux82ED
82/530 Skywatcher Evolux ED-APO with 2.4" (61 mm) microfocus Crayford focuser and retractable dewshield
Elegant design, next-generation performance
Building on the foundation of the popular Evostar line of doublet ED
refractors, Sky-Watcher has developed the all-new Evolux ED series.
Designed for the discerning astrophotographer looking for a lightweight
scope that still packs a punch. Naturally, Evolux ED models offer
excellent performance for visual use too. Evolux ED models have key
upgrades in the optics and the mechanics, making them the perfect fit
for a widefield grab-and-go setup.
Evolux ED apochromatic doublet
refractors are the perfect blend of superior extra-low dispersion glass
and affordability. The doublet lens assembly utilises a proprietary
combination of optically matched lenses, including one ED lens element,
that delivers sharp stars with charcoal-black, contrast-rich skies,
whilst virtually eliminating false colour. All lens elements feature
Sky-Watchers proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC)
which are the finest photon anti-rejection coatings in their class,
optimising light throughput to up to 99.5%!
The Evolux-82ED can also be
used as a deluxe guidescope. The Evolux-82ED comes in a foam-lined
aluminum case with a 2.4-inch 11:1 dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser,
45mm dovetail bar, clamshell ring, and adjustable dew shield.
An optional 0.9x two-element focal reducer/field flattener, which includes one ED lens element and adaptor/field rotator is available separately, which when combined makes the Evolux-62ED into a four-lens optical system comprising two ED elements!
