Product description

This apo offers some more aperture and focal length than the smaller Esprit-EDX, using a triplet objective with an APO element made of Japanese Ohara FPL53. The fast apo is primarily designed for mobile astrophotography. With the # 20188 flattener, the Esprit-100 becomes a powerful astrograph with a flat field of view, whereby the high speed of f/5.5 is maintained and ensures short exposure times. The ESPRIT has a 360° rotator built into the eyepiece side, allowing perfect orientation of the camera to the object. The focuser itself, now a 3" version, can also be rotated.

Skywatcher ESPRIT EDX Apo - optical and mechanical perfection
ESPRIT apochromats from Skywatcher are known for their very good optics with color-pure imaging. Numerous outstanding deep-sky photos, but also high-resolution lunar and planetary photos as well as testimonials from many satisfied observers prove this. The new ESPRIT EDX use the same proven optics as their predecessors, but offer an improved mechanical design. The focuser in particular has been significantly improved and now also impresses demanding astrophotographers.
