Sky-Watcher Esprit 70EDX Triplet APO Refractor – Precision Optics for Astrophotography

The Sky-Watcher Esprit 70EDX is a premium 70mm apochromatic refractor telescope, purpose-built for serious astrophotographers who demand both precision and reliability. Right from the moment you set it up, this high-performance instrument impresses with its expert craftsmanship and refined optical design.

At the heart of the Esprit 70EDX lies an air-spaced triplet lens assembly, which incorporates ultra-high-quality FPL-53 extra-low dispersion glass. Thanks to this advanced glass, the telescope delivers superb colour correction across the entire visible spectrum. Even when imaging bright stars or planets, it effectively eliminates chromatic aberration—ensuring every shot appears sharp, clean, and colour-accurate.

Taken together, these features make the Esprit 70EDX a powerful tool not only for high-resolution lunar and planetary imaging but also for deep-sky astrophotography. Whether you’re capturing dense star clusters, expansive emission nebulae, or fine detail in the lunar surface, this telescope consistently produces images rich in contrast and detail.

In addition to its optical excellence, the Esprit 70EDX features a 490mm focal length and an f/7 focal ratio. This setup strikes a perfect balance between magnification and field of view, making it suitable for a wide variety of imaging targets. Moreover, the integrated 2.7″ dual-speed linear power focuser allows for precise, smooth focusing and supports heavy imaging payloads with ease.

Included Accessories:
