    The Skywatcher Esprit 120EDX Triplet APO Refractor is a professional telescope for demanding astrophotographers and visual observers. Its large, 120mm air-spaced apochromatic triplet objective lens uses premium Ohara FPL-53 ED glass, which provides exceptional color correction with no detectable chromatic aberration, even on bright stars.

    The optical tube of the Skywatcher Esprit 120EDX features internal knife-edge baffles that reduce internal reflections and increase contrast, helping to reveal faint details in deep-sky objects. For wide-field imaging, an optional 2-element field flattener is available separately to provide a fully corrected 42mm image circle. The Esprit 120EDX refractor is a superb choice for high-resolution imaging.

     

    Key Features

    • 120mm Apochromatic Triplet Lens: The air-spaced objective of the Skywatcher Esprit 120EDX triplet uses FPL-53 glass for exceptional color correction and sharp, high-contrast views.

    • Precision 3-inch Focuser: A heavy-duty, CNC-machined 11:1 dual-speed linear power focuser provides precise, repeatable focus with a high load capacity and zero image shift.

    • 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.

    • Enhanced Contrast Design: Internal knife-edge baffles are used to maximize image contrast, making the Skywatcher Esprit 120EDX an ideal telescope for astrophotography.

    • Fixed Dew Shield: A fixed dew shield on the Skywatcher Esprit 120 EDX protects the objective from stray light and moisture.
