Sky-Watcher EvoStar 100ED / ProED 100 100mm ED Refractor Telescope Optical Tube

Take your stargazing experience to the next level with the EvoStar 100ED / ProED 100 100mm ED Refractor Telescope Optical Tube. This top-tier telescope, crafted by Sky-Watcher, a renowned leader in the design and manufacture of ED-APO systems, offers unparalleled optical and mechanical quality. The EvoStar 100ED APO Refractor is part of Sky-Watcher's extensive line of ED-APOCHROMATIC refractors, known for their exceptional performance and high-quality fabrication materials. This telescope is designed to provide the amateur astronomer with peak performance and an unforgettable experience every time it's used. When observing with the Sky-Watcher EvoStar 100ED 100mm Refractor, you'll be amazed by the razor-sharp detail of lunar landscapes, the swirling equatorial bands of Jupiter, and the stunning surface phenomenon of Saturn. This telescope also excels in resolving double stars and viewing compact globular star clusters, offering a superior image quality compared to larger reflectors. As an astrograph, the EvoStar 100ED APO delivers crisp, high-fidelity imaging of planetary, lunar, and aperture-appropriate deep-space phenomena. Its design virtually eliminates residual chromatic aberration, commonly found in 2-element achromatic lens designs. This is achieved by using the finest extra-low dispersion (ED) glass available, FPL-53, resulting in the best color correction for an ED doublet lens. Selected models of the ED-APO refractors also benefit from the inclusion of Schott glass for the positive front Crown element in the objective. Known as the world leader in glass used for precision optical lens systems, Schott glass ensures the highest quality in your viewing or photography experience. Every lens in the EvoStar 100ED APO Refractor is individually inspected for purity and absence of striae and other image-degrading imperfections. Each air-to-glass lens surface is treated with Sky-Watcher's proprietary "Metallic High-Transmission Coatings" (MHC), ensuring optimum light throughput. The telescope features a precision 2" Crayford-style focuser, offering fine and ultra-fine focusing adjustments. The optical tube is made of aluminum, powder-coated in reflective gloss black with gold fleck accent, while the front and back cells are cast-aluminum painted white or black. The Sky-Watcher APO optical tubes come with attachment hardware, allowing them to be securely fastened to compatible mounts. The quick-release tube rings provided with the EvoStar 100ED APO models are cast-aluminum, painted white. In summary, the EvoStar 100ED / ProED 100 100mm ED Refractor Telescope Optical Tube is the ultimate choice for those seeking pristine, near textbook-perfect astronomical imaging. Experience the universe like never before with this exceptional piece of advanced instrumentation.
