Skywatcher Evostar 72ED DS Pro (OTA)

Description

This optical design of the apochromat ensures an absolute minimum of chromatic aberration and provides a very sharp image!

This affordable, short focal length refractor is ideal for the astrophotography of large star fields without the need for a heavy duty astronomical mount. It is also ideal for when traveling or for portable astrophotography in general. The sensitive focuser with a 1:11 reduction gearing is a great help when focusing.

This telescope is designed as an astrograph, that is, the focal position is designed for astrophotography.

It is not only important which telescope you buy, but also where you buy it.

We provide extra help:

• We are a leading telescope dealer and know these instruments like the back of our hands.
• We are always very happy to offer our assistance after your purchase, should you encounter any problems with your telescope’s setup or operation.
• Our ‘Telescope Basics’ booklet – an 80-page beginner’s guide for our telescopes – is provided free of charge with every telescope we sell.
