Skywatcher Esprit 80EDX Triplet APO Refractor
Sky-Watcher Esprit 80EDX Triplet APO Refractor
The Sky-Watcher Esprit 80EDX is a premium 80mm apochromatic triplet refractor, crafted for serious astrophotographers who demand crisp, colour-accurate images. Using Ohara FPL-53 extra-low dispersion glass, this telescope delivers exceptional colour correction across the full visible spectrum with zero visible chromatic aberration, even on bright targets. Internal knife-edge baffles enhance contrast by reducing stray light, helping you capture fine detail in deep-sky objects.
The optional 2-element field flattener provides a fully corrected 42mm image circle, ideal for full-frame imaging with minimal distortion or vignetting. The robust 3" dual-speed linear focuser offers precise control and stability, even with heavy camera equipment attached, and is fully rotatable to aid in framing.
