Sky-Watcher's proprietary \"Metallic High-Transmission Coatings\" (MHTC) are among the best in their class. The optics provide crisp, sharp stars against a deep black background, with contrast-rich skies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many, Sky-Watcher's Evostar-ED doublets are a popular choice for astrophotography due to their high performance and affordability. With less glass in their construction, they are typically much lighter than equivalent-aperture triplet or other multi-element ED refractor designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn optional optically matched 0.85x Focal Reducer\/Field Flattener (code 20258) is also available for astrophotography. Presented in a fresh white-and-green design, the Evostar 72EDX is a good telescope for both imaging and visual observations when used with the necessary accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-Quality f\/5.8 ED Optics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNearly 99.5% Light Throughput\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.2\" Rack and Pinion Focuser\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-In 360° Rotatable Adaptor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRetractable Dew Shield and Handle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional 0.85x Focal Reducer\/Flattener\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkyWatcher Evostar 72EDX Apochromatic OTA Refractor\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SkyWatcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51395095724199,"sku":"GC39-SWEVOSTAR72EDX","price":889.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4083\/0375\/files\/GC39-SWEVOSTAR72EDX_1.jpg?v=1790053467","url":"https:\/\/www.georges.com.au\/products\/skywatcher-evostar-72edx-apochromatic-ota-refractor","provider":"Georges Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
