Sky-Watcher EVOLUX 82ED

The Sky-Watcher family of EvoStar ED telescopes started with the 80ED, a value for money favourite of astronomers all over the world.

The new Sky-Watcher Evolux 82ED refractor is perfect for those looking for a compact and ultra-transportable instrument ideal for Wide Field, Deepsky astrophotography.

An optional custom designed 0.90X reducer/ flattener is available as an option.

It flattens the field for pinpoint stars right out to the edges, whilst reducing the focal length to 480mm

The new EVOLUX 82ED continues this tradition with major enhancements including:

• Unparalleled levels of optic performance for an ED telescope
• Updated 2-lens element design
• New ED glass
• 82mm / f 6.4 (f5.8 with optional reducer)
• New optional re-designed dedicated reducer/field flattener for wider field of view and faster imaging
• Retractable integrated dewshield for improved handling
• Precision 61mm (2.4″) dual-speed focuser

Here’s a great mount option:
