150 mm ED apochromatic doublet refractor with a 1200 mm focal length and f/8 focal ratio. The Sky-Watcher Evostar 150EDX features a CNC-machined 3-inch dual-speed 11:1 rack-and-pinion focuser, 360° rotation and retractable dew shield.
Designed for astrophotography and visual observation, the Sky-Watcher Evostar 150EDX uses a 150 mm ED apochromatic doublet with a 1200 mm focal length and f/8 focal ratio.
Its ED glass element provides strong chromatic correction, while MHTC coatings provide stated light transmission approaching 99.5%.
The CNC-machined dual-speed 11:1 rack-and-pinion focuser features a 3-inch indexed drawtube with an integrated 360° rotatable adapter.
The aluminium optical tube incorporates internal baffling, a retractable dew shield, tube rings with a top accessory rail that also serves as a carrying handle, and a 75 mm dovetail bar.
150 mm ED Apochromatic Doublet
The 150 mm objective uses an apochromatic doublet design incorporating one ED glass element.
This configuration greatly reduces chromatic aberration and provides sharp, high-contrast images.
1200 mm Focal Length at f/8
With a 1200 mm focal length and f/8 focal ratio, the Evostar 150EDX is particularly suitable for detailed lunar and planetary observation as well as astronomical imaging.
Its 150 mm aperture also provides substantial light-gathering capability for deep-sky observation.
MHTC Coatings
The air-to-glass surfaces feature Sky-Watcher Metallic High-Transmission Coatings MHTC.
Sky-Watcher states light transmission approaching 99.5%.
CNC Dual-Speed 11:1 Focuser
Focusing is provided by a CNC-machined rack-and-pinion focuser with 11:1 reduction.
Its indexed 3-inch drawtube provides support for imaging accessories while allowing precise focusing.
360° Rotation
A 360° rotatable adapter is integrated into the drawtube.
This allows a camera or accessory to be rotated for precise framing.
Retractable Dew Shield
The retractable dew shield reduces the overall tube length during transport and storage.
Aluminium Optical Tube
The aluminium optical tube incorporates internal baffling designed to reduce unwanted reflections.
The anodised aluminium tube rings incorporate a top accessory rail that also serves as a carrying handle.
