Sky-Watcher’s new Esprit EDX premium telescopes feature a high-end, three-element ED apochromatic design that delivers outstanding performance. These instruments stand confidently alongside – and in some cases exceed – comparable models from well-known high-end telescope manufacturers.
The Esprit EDX Super Apo triplets are engineered primarily for demanding astrophotographers but also serve as exceptional instruments for visual observers seeking top-tier optical quality. Their superbly corrected optical system provides high-contrast, richly detailed, and color-accurate views. Even the brightest objects are rendered with exceptional sharpness and virtually no detectable chromatic aberration.
The Esprit-100EDX uses the same remarkable f/5.5 optical system as its predecessor, incorporating a premium FPL-53 ED glass element from the renowned Japanese manufacturer Ohara. Every air-to-glass surface is treated with an advanced metallic anti-reflection coating, achieving up to 99.5% light transmission. Sky-Watcher’s proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coating (MHTC) ranks among the finest anti-reflection coatings available in its class.
The mechanical design has been updated with an improved 3" Crayford focuser featuring a robust rack-and-pinion system, high load capacity, and completely play-free focusing. Both the focuser and the camera adapter offer smooth rotation, making it easy to adjust your framing. A built-in carry handle adds convenience, and the telescope is delivered in a sturdy transport case with an aluminum frame and protective foam interior.
For astrophotography, an optional Field Flattener (item 20188) is available to provide a perfectly flat imaging field with pinpoint stars across the entire frame.
