The Sky-Watcher 150mm Esprit 150EDX Triplet APO Refractor is a telescope for astrophotographers that are looking for a professional instrument. The correction of the air spaced apochromatic triplet lens provides exceptional colour correction effecting the entire visible spectrum. The Ohara FPL-53 ED (extra low dispersion) glass does an excellent job with no chromatic aberration even on bright stars. The internal reflections are reduced with knife edge baffles for a consequential increase of the contrast, all to help the capture of faint structure in deep sky objects.

 

 

For astrophotography, it is recommended to use the dedicated 0.92x flattener/reducer, sold separately.
