The SkyWatcher EVOSTAR 100 ED telescope is a 100mm f/9 apochromatic refractor suited to high magnification observation of planets, Moon and double stars. The objective is a doublet apochromatic with FPL-53 glass that produces no false color images (very well correct chromatic aberration): the result is a contrasted picture and rich in details. The SkyWatcher EVOSTAR 100 ED telescope it's still lightweight and therefore it can also be used on HEQ5 type mounts.
The SkyWatcher EVOSTAR 100 ED offers a solid 50,8mm diameter Crayford focuser. Thanks to the fine focusing knob you can get a fine tuned focus. The optional 0,85x reducer/flattener enables you to convert it into a telescope to photograph deep-sky objects even with large sensor camera (like DSLR). In fact it decreases telescope focal length at 765mm and focal ratio changes from f9 to f7.65. This makes it easier to record the weak details of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters.
