    The Skywatcher Esprit 100EDX Triplet APO Refractor is a premium telescope engineered for both astrophotography and visual use. Its air-spaced apochromatic triplet objective lens uses premium Ohara FPL-53 ED glass to provide exceptional color correction with no detectable chromatic aberration, even on bright stars.

    The optical tube of the Skywatcher Esprit 100EDX also features internal knife-edge baffles that reduce internal reflections and increase contrast, helping to reveal faint details in deep-sky objects.

     

    Key Features

    • Apochromatic Triplet Objective: The Skywatcher Esprit 100EDX triplet features a 100mm air-spaced objective lens with Ohara FPL-53 glass for exceptional color correction.

    • High-Transmission Coatings: Sky-Watcher's Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC) are applied to all air-to-glass surfaces to ensure the highest possible light throughput.

    • 3-inch Dual-Speed Focuser: A rock-solid, CNC-machined 11:1 dual-speed linear power focuser on the Esprit 100EDX provides precise focus with a high load capacity and zero image shift.

    • Enhanced Contrast: Internal knife-edge baffles are used to maximize image contrast by eliminating stray light.

    • Retractable Dew Shield: A collapsible dew shield helps prevent moisture buildup and blocks stray light, a critical feature for any session with the Skywatcher Esprit 100EDX for astrophotography.
