Sky-Watcher continues to break the mold with the release of their 150mm ED APO refractor.

Sky-Watcher was the first company to bring ED optics to astronomers at an attainable price.  They have continued that tradition for decades with their Doublet and Triplet lines of refractors.  The Evostar 150 APO breaks new ground again from a price/performance point.  A premium 6" ED doublet that comes in right at $3000.  

The Evostar 150 APO will give you countless evenings of joy as you scan skies observing everything from fine planetary details to galaxies millions of light years away.  The 1200mm focal length combined with the f/8 focal ratio makes it a great Jack of all trades.  Fortunately the scope comes equipped with a 2" dual-speed Crayford focuser allowing you precise control over the focus of your new pride and joy. 

Sky-Watcher’s Evostar apochromatic doublet refractors are the perfect blend of superior extra-low dispersion glass and affordability. The Evostar refractor lens assembly utilizes a proprietary combination of matched lenses, delivering tack-sharp stars with charcoal-black, contrast-rich skies. All ED glass elements are fluorite-based and feature our proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coatings™ (MHTC™), virtually eliminating all false color while internal baffle prevent stray light from affecting your photography. Like the optics, the tube is beautifully crafted using aluminum and finished with a black diamond metal-flake finish.

Using a doublet refractor instead of a triplet has some advantages: less glass means less weight, less weight means a less expensive telescope, so you can dedicate more money for your camera or laptop while benefiting from a lightweight astrophotography rig.

The Evostar 150 APO comes equipped with dual split ring tube rings as well as a Vixen style dovetail to help get your scope mounted up right away.  To finish out the package the Evostar 150 APO is housed in a protective aluminum case.
