Sky-Watcher Esprit 80EDX Triplet APO Refractor – Premium Telescope for Astrophotography

The Sky-Watcher Esprit 80EDX Triplet APO Refractor is a high-quality 80mm apochromatic telescope designed for astrophotographers who demand precision, clarity, and reliability. From setup to imaging, it delivers professional-grade performance with superior craftsmanship and advanced optics.

Exceptional Optical Design

At the core of the Esprit 80EDX is a fully air-spaced triplet lens system, built with FPL-53 extra-low dispersion glass. This premium glass ensures outstanding colour correction across the entire visible spectrum. Bright stars, planets, and nebulae appear sharp, vibrant, and free from chromatic aberration—ideal for both beginner and advanced astrophotographers.

High-Performance Imaging

With a 400mm focal length and a fast f/5 focal ratio, the Esprit 80EDX strikes the perfect balance between magnification and wide field of view. This makes it equally suited for lunar detail, star clusters, and expansive deep-sky objects such as emission nebulae and galaxies. Every image is rich in contrast, clarity, and fine detail.

Precision Focusing and Build

The integrated 2.7″ dual-speed linear power focuser provides smooth, accurate focusing and easily supports heavy imaging setups. This robust focuser, combined with the telescope’s premium build quality, ensures stability during long exposures and guarantees consistent results night after night.
