The Skywatcher Esprit 80EDX Triplet APO Refractor is a professional telescope for demanding astrophotographers and visual observers.

The optical tube of the Skywatcher Esprit 80EDX features internal knife-edge baffles that reduce internal reflections and increase contrast, helping to bring out faint structure in deep-sky objects.
