Skywatcher Equinox 80 APO PRO OTA

Skywatcher Equinox 80 APO PRO OTA
Our Price:  £520.00(Inc. 20% VAT)

Model:  equinox
Brand:  Skywatcher


Latest model, includes shoe for finderscope. 

Please note: Other models are available with the same tube assembly but inferior optics, this is the one with Japanese Ohara FPL-53 fluorite glass for the ED element and German Schott glass for the Crown element.


Each objective is finished by hand and undergoes both a Ronchi test and artificial star test.

“We took five, two-minute exposures of the Pleiades & Andromeda galaxy which were then stacked and image-enhanced using K3CCD tools. They gave a tremendous amount of detail – in fact they were the best images of these objects I have ever taken…”The view was pin-sharp across 85 percent with the 20mm lens and there was no apparent colour fringing at all around the stars”…Overall the refractor performed well on all tasks. It would make a top quality addition to any astronomers scope collection!
