The Skywatcher Esprit 150EDX Triplet APO Refractor is the flagship of the Esprit range, designed for advanced users who demand flawless performance. Its large, 150mm air-spaced apochromatic triplet lens is crafted with Ohara FPL-53 ED glass, delivering exceptional color correction and eliminating chromatic aberration, even on the brightest stars.
The optical tube of the Skywatcher Esprit 150EDX features internal knife-edge baffles that reduce internal reflections and increase contrast, helping to reveal faint details in deep-sky objects. A key feature for this model is the included dedicated 2-element field flattener, which produces a flat, fully corrected 42mm image circle perfect for full-frame sensors.
