The Sky-Watcher Evostar EDX 80mm ED Refractor delivers an exceptional balance of optical performance, portability, and value, making it one of the most versatile telescopes for astrophotography and visual observing. Designed with a precision apochromatic doublet lens, this refractor produces sharp, color-corrected images with deep contrast and minimal chromatic aberration.

Built for astronomers who want premium results without the weight and cost of a triplet, the Evostar EDX 80mm is ideal for wide-field imaging, planetary observation, and grab-and-go setups.

Featuring FPL-53 extra-low dispersion glass, the Evostar EDX delivers outstanding color correction and sharpness. The air-spaced doublet design minimizes false color while maintaining a lightweight profile.

Proprietary coatings maximize light throughput and contrast, producing coal-black skies and bright, detailed celestial views.

• Excellent for wide-field deep-sky imaging
• Minimal chromatic aberration for clean star profiles
• Internal baffling reduces stray light for improved image quality

Achieve precise focus with a smooth, backlash-free dual-speed focuser, ideal for both imaging and visual use.

The doublet design reduces weight compared to triplet refractors, making it easier to mount and transport—perfect for mobile astrophotographers.
