The new Skywatcher Evolux ED series is the much anticipated addition to Skywatcher's top-selling EvoStar ED refractor telescope family, only boasting improved optical performance and technical design.
Specially designed for astrophotography, the Skywatcher Evolux 62ED Refractor Telescope features 62mm with improved ED (extra-low dispersion) glass for minimal colour fringing, fast f/5.8 (with reducer) for long-exposure tracking and minimal star trails and a wider field of view thanks to its short focal length. With its longer focuser (61mm), expect greater light gathering ability to its predecessors, and an innovating design that reduced vignetting for full-frame DSLRs. This also simultaneously allows for focusing to a greater degree of accuracy with a longer focus throw for exceptional shots..

- Dual speed 61mm (2.4") crayford focuser
