Evostar 150DX f/8 APO Refractor - S11195

The Sky-Watcher Evostar 150DX features a 150mm aperture with an extra low-dispersion (ED) element in a doublet apochromatic lens design, producing crisp and clear high-resolution views with limited edge distortion and accurate color representation. The DX model features a stronger rack-and-pinion focuser with a 3.4" diameter drawtube that provides a rock-solid platform for heavy imaging loads while allowing sufficient light transmission for even the largest imaging sensors. Excellent for both planetary observation and deep sky imaging, this f/8 focal ratio refractor benefits from ED glass and Sky-Watcher's metallic high-transmission coatings to minimize false color. The lightweight doublet design uses less glass than triplet designs, allowing observers to dedicate resources to imaging equipment rather than expensive mounts.
