Like its predecessor, the objective lens features extra-low dispersion glass (ED) that minimizes the chromatic aberration for excellent colour correction. The glass used in this 72 EDX Evostar is different from the other glass used in other Evostar telescopes, however chromatic aberration is lower in small diameter refractors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0071\/4935\/5059\/files\/Evostar_72EDX_3.jpg?v=1789619596\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe new \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.2\" Rack and Pinion focuser\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is solid, precise and backlash free.
