    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.

     

    Key Features

    • 150mm Apochromatic Triplet Lens: The large 150mm objective of the Skywatcher Esprit 150EDX triplet uses an air-spaced FPL-53 triplet design for true apochromatic performance.

    • High-Transmission Coatings: Sky-Watcher's Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC) are applied to all air-to-glass surfaces to ensure maximum light throughput for the Esprit 150EDX.

    • Heavy-Duty 3.4-inch Focuser: A massive, CNC-machined 11:1 dual-speed linear power focuser provides precise, repeatable focus with a very high load capacity.

    • Fixed Dew Shield: A fixed dew shield on the Skywatcher Esprit 150 EDX protects the objective from stray light and moisture.
