About this product

Command the night sky with the formidable light-gathering power of the Sky-Watcher Limited Edition Evostar 150EDX Doublet APO OTA. Engineered for breathtaking lunar vistas, high-contrast planetary detail, and wide-field deep-sky imaging, this flagship refractor balances substantial 150mm clear aperture with exquisite colour correction. Sporting an updated mechanical chassis and distinctive livery, it delivers pinpoint stellar views against velvety black backgrounds.

Virtually zero chromatic aberration
99.5% Transmission
Proprietary MHTC anti-reflection coatings
CNC Rack & Pinion
3-inch indexed tube with 360° rotation
f/8 Native Focal Ratio
1200mm focal length for crisp resolution

Precision ED Optics Without the Triplet Mass

At the core of the Evostar 150EDX is a matched doublet objective featuring extra-low dispersion (ED) glass. By utilising an unobstructed two-element optical configuration, the telescope delivers razor-sharp diffraction patterns and immaculate contrast while remaining significantly lighter than equivalent triplet instruments at just 9.68kg. It provides pure, colour-pure images of the planets and deep space without overburdening your equatorial mount.

Refined Mechanical Framework

The updated EDX platform brings substantial structural improvements for visual observers and astrophotographers alike. A heavy-duty 3-inch CNC-machined dual-speed rack and pinion focuser incorporates an indexed drawtube and built-in 360-degree camera field rotator for precise framing. Transport and mounting are streamlined thanks to an integrated top accessory rail that functions as a rigid carry handle, paired with a retractable dew shield that reduces storage length to 1067mm.

Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC)
Every air-to-glass optical surface receives multi-layered metallic anti-reflection coatings, driving photon transmission up to an extraordinary 99.5% for charcoal-black skies and intense contrast.

Key Features

  • 150mm Apochromatic Doublet – Uses an ED glass element to virtually eliminate fringing and false colour around brilliant targets.
  • 11:1 Dual-Speed Focuser – CNC-machined rack and pinion unit with an indexed 3-inch drawtube ensures micro-fine focusing under heavy payloads.
  • 360° Rotatable Adaptor – Seamlessly adjust camera framing or diagonal orientation without loosening the primary mounting rings.
  • Retractable Dew Shield – Shields the primary lens from stray light and moisture in the field, then retracts to keep transport compact.
  • Baffled Aluminium Tube – Internal knife-edge baffles eliminate off-axis stray light to protect subtle deep-sky contrast.
  • Top Rail Carrying Handle – Firmly attached to the CNC tube rings, offering secure field transport and mounting space for extra hardware.
  • 44mm Image Circle Ready – Designed to support full-frame sensors with an optional 0.77x focal reducer/flattener.
