Product description

More about the series EvoStar...

The refractors in the EvoStar series not only feature an elegant design, but also premium optics. On various mounts, you will find achromats with two lenses in the lower price segment and apochromats with a double lens system in the higher price segment. The special glass significantly reduces colour aberrations and ensures a spectacular viewing experience.

Due to the use of less glass in their construction, the Evostars are usually lighter and therefore more comfortable to transport than triplets with the same aperture.

Apochromatic Refractors, due to their unobstructed, text-book like diffraction patterns, produce the sharpest, highest quality optical imaging available, bar-none, aperture for aperture, of any telescope optical system.

The high-end Evostar-150ED Apo doublet features an undisclosed combination of one Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass element and a matched crown element. Each air-to-glass objective lens surface has exotic anti-reflection metallic coatings applied, to ensure optimum light throughput of approaching 99.5%. The proprietary Sky-Watcher “Metallic High-Transmission Coatings” (MHC) are the finest photon anti-rejection coatings in their class.

The Evostar-150ED is supplied without eyepiece, finderscope and star diagonal.

The new Evostar-150EDX is now equipped with a CNC-machined 3" rack and pinion focuser with scale, which has a 360° rotatable adaptor, a slide-in dew shield and a handle that also serves as a mounting rail. It is also equipped with solid tube clamps made of anodised aluminium and a 75 mm wide prism rail.

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.
