Due to their unobstructed textbook-like diffraction patterns and exotic optical properties, the ED-APO produces the sharpest, highest quality imaging obtainable from any telescope optical design.  These breathtakingly pristine celestial views are coveted by experienced amateur astronomers.

Observing with SW EvoStar 80ED 80 mm Refractor
Fortunate indeed is the amateur astronomer with a SW ED-APO 80 mm refractor on a clear night with transparent skies and a stable atmosphere.  The Sky-Watcher ED-APO 80mm is a modestly wide-field telescope offering bright, wide swaths of sky in a single view.  It is well suited for wide-field astronomical observation of prominent nebulae, star clusters and galaxies from a dark-sky location, or can be used as an astrograph for sky photography.  As a terrestrial spotting scope or telephoto lens, the ED-APO’s performance is absolutely superb.  Ultra high contrast allows the subtlest of details to be easily scrutinized under conditions of good seeing.  The petite silhouette of the SW ED-APO 80 mm makes for an excellent compact, portable telescope that travels light and fits a small space.  At about 50-power, structural detail becomes apparent in our solar system’s gas giants like Saturn and Jupiter.  The Moon also exhibits striking crater detail along the lunar terminator.

As an astrograph, the SW EvoStar 80ED delivers superb performance imaging a wide spectrum of astronomical phenomenon.
