A portable APO refractor ideal for wide-field astrophotography
Thanks to its optimized design, the Evolux 62ED is an excellent choice for light, mobile setups. It can also be used as a high-end guide scope. The optics, composed of two lenses including one in ED glass, keep chromatic aberrations to a minimum, while delivering a sharp, high-contrast image.
With the optional 0.9x reducer/flattenerwith an ED element, the system becomes a quadruplet with 2 ED lenses - ideal for full-frame imaging with a flattened field.
