Product description

More about the series ESPRIT...

The ESPRIT series of apochromatic refractors are the first choice for demanding observers and astrophotographers! The three-lens apochromats feature an objective lens made from an ED element from Ohara, Japan. This guarantees true-colour images from the Moon to deep sky objects.

Sky-Watcher's own "Metallic High-Transmission Coating" (MHTC) is the highest quality Antireflex coating in its class and ensures a bright image.

The Esprit EDX Apo Triplets are designed for demanding astrophotographers, but also allow for pure visual observation. The corrected optical system produces images with no perceptible colour aberration, even with the brightest objects, and with exceptional contrast and sharpness!

The Esprit-100EDX contains the same exceptional f/5.5 optics as its predecessor, with a Japanese premium Ohara FPL-53 ED glass lens. Each glass-air surface has been coated with an Antireflex metal coating to achieve maximum light transmission of 99.5%.

The Esprit-100EDX has an improved focuser compared to its predecessor. The telescope comes with a rotation adapter that allows you to rotate the camera so that the image is optimally oriented towards the celestial object.

The telescope is equipped with a practical carrying handle.

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.
