The Sky-Watcher EvoStar 80ED features a doublet apochromatic lens system with Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass and proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHC) that virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations for clear, high-contrast images with true color rendition. This modestly wide-field telescope is well suited for wide-field astronomical observation of prominent nebulae, star clusters and galaxies from dark-sky locations, or can be used as an astrograph for photography. Using a doublet refractor design means less glass weight, allowing observers to dedicate more resources to cameras or laptops while benefiting from a lightweight astrophotography rig. With premium optical performance, it serves as an excellent grab-and-go scope for backyard astronomy, a top-notch travel scope, and can be piggybacked on larger telescopes for serious wide-field imaging.
