The Sky-Watcher Evostar 72ED APO is a little jewel of optical engineering, designed for anyone looking for a compact, lightweight telescope with outstanding image quality. Behind its apparent simplicity lies precision apochromatic optics, ideal for nomadic astrophotography, visual observation and terrestrial photography.
This refractor is equipped with a 72 mm doublet lens, one element of which is made of ultra-low-dispersion ED glass. This design effectively corrects chromatic aberration, for sharp, high-contrast images free from colored bangs, even on the brightest stars.
All air-glass surfaces are treated with the exclusive MHC - Metallic High-Transmission Coatingswith a light transmission rate of up to 99.5 %. The result: exceptional luminosity and color fidelity ideal for astrophotography or fine detail observation.
