Sky-Watcher Evolux 62 ED (OTA) Telescope
The Sky-Watcher Evolux 62 ED Telescope combines elegant design with the performance of a new generation of optics. Building upon the success of the popular Evostar series, the brand new Evolux ED series is tailored for ambitious astrophotographers seeking a lightweight yet high-performance instrument. While optimized for imaging, the Evolux ED models also deliver exceptional clarity for visual observation.
Key Advantages
- ED Doublet Optics: The lens assembly uses high-quality optical glass, including low-refractive ED elements, to produce sharp star images with high contrast and virtually undetectable color errors.
- Advanced MHTC™ Coating: All lens elements feature Sky-Watcher”s Metallic High-Transmission Coating, enabling light transmission of up to 99.5% for maximum brightness.
- Perfect Wide-Field Instrument: Ideally suited for capturing and observing large sections of the night sky, such as expansive nebulae and star clusters.
- Precision 2.4” Focuser: Equipped with a dual-speed rack and pinion focuser for ultra-fine focusing accuracy required for astrophotography.
- Travel-Ready Design: Features a retractable dew cap and a compact transport length of just 295mm, fitting easily into the included aluminum case.
Product Description
The Evolux 62 ED is a speedy f/6.5 apochromatic refractor designed to meet the demands of modern astro-imagers. Its lightweight aluminum tube (2.5kg) ensures it can be carried by most medium-sized equatorial mounts without stress.
For photographers, an optional dedicated flattener is available to ensure pin-sharp stars across the entire image field, including the corners. This turns the Evolux into a corrected four-lens system, perfect for high-resolution imaging. SkyHunters is one of the leading telescope suppliers, and we recommend this series for advanced users looking for a portable, high-fidelity setup that doesn't compromise on optical quality.
