SHARPSTAR 50EDPH f/5.5 APO TRIPLET

The Sharpstar 50EDPH APO is a fast and super portable apochromatic triplet with a focal ratio of f/5.5 and a focal length of 275mm. The objective lens includes two Extra-Low Dispersion elements for excellent colour correction.

This telescope is incredibly light and compact, making it perfect for small equatorial mounts such as the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTI. For imaging, a 0.84x reducer is available (sold separately), resulting in a wide focal length of 230mm and the focal ratio f/4.6. This corrector delivers an corrected image circle up to APS-C. 

The rack and pinion focuser can be rotated 360° and has a reduction gear of 1:10 for precise focusing. The focuser is compatible with the ZWO EAF electronic focuser bracket but may require additional hardware.

The 50EDPH also excels as a richfield visual telescope with the addition of an optional diagonal and eyepiece. The telescope includes a 70mm long Vixen-style dovetail plate which has two 1/4"-20 holes and six M6 holes, making it easy to attach to a variety of mounts and tripods.

All the lenses are fully multi-coated and the tube is internally blackened to reduce reflections and absorb stray light. The tube is made of aluminium, the rack and pinion focusing mechanism of brass and the mechanical components are engineered to provide the best rigidity, performance and durability.

Note: The mount, camera and accessories shown in the product photos are not included.
