Sky-Watcher EvoStar 120mm f/75 Doublet APO Refract

The EvoStar 120mm f/75 Doublet APO Refractor from Sky-Watcher features a doublet apochromatic lens system with Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass and Sky-Watcher's proprietary photon anti-rejection Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHC) on all air-to-glass optical surfaces This combination of glass - lenses - and coatings virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations for clear and bright high-contrast images with true color rendition This is a versatile optical tube assembly (OTA) that is well suited for wide-field astronomical observation of prominent nebulae - star clusters and galaxies - or can be used as an astrograph for sky photography - a terrestrial spotting scope or telephoto lens The larger 120mm aperture of this ProED model not only increases image brightness over the smaller 80mm and 100mm versions - it improves resolution and contrastA mounting cradle-ring clamps over OTA and allows the user to adjust the orientation and position of the scope relative to the mount to optimize viewing comfort and balance - while avoiding interference with other equipment The scope is offered without a mount or tripod - but a Vixen-style dovetail plate makes it compatible with any alt-az or equatorial mount with a Vixen-style saddleIts two-speed Crayford-style focuser helps make fine-focusing fast and precise without backlash The EvoStar comes with several accessories to help you get observing faster and easier First - are two long eye relief eyepieces that produce 30 and 120x magnification - a 90 degrees star diagonal for more comfortable viewing - and a large 8x50 erect-image finderscope to make finding your celestial objects faster and easier Finally - Sky-Watcher provides a foam-lined aluminum carrying case to safely store and transport the OTA
