Sky-Watcher Evostar 120EDX OTA Telescope

The Sky-Watcher Evostar 120EDX OTA is engineered for astronomers seeking outstanding optical precision, robust construction, and smooth focusing performance. Featuring a 120mm objective lens and a 900mm focal length (f/7.5), this high-quality apochromatic refractor delivers crisp, high-contrast views of planets, deep-sky objects, and lunar details. Its highest practical magnification potential of 360x ensures excellent performance for both visual observation and imaging applications.

Designed with advanced MHTC multi-coated optics, the Evostar 120EDX offers superior light transmission and minimal chromatic aberration, resulting in sharp, true-color images. The OTA’s backlash-free dual-speed 11:1 2" Crayford focuser, paired with a 2.8" indexed drawtube and 360° rotatable adaptor, provides precise, smooth focusing—ideal for astrophotographers making fine adjustments during imaging sessions.

The telescope’s durable aluminium optical tube features internal baffling for enhanced contrast, along with a retractable dew shield to prevent moisture build-up. It includes a drawtube adaptor for 2" star diagonals, and a universal finderscope mounting shoe compatible with all Sky-Watcher finderscopes. For convenience and stability, the OTA comes equipped with tube rings, a top accessory rail/carry handle, and a 45mm dovetail mounting bar for easy setup on a wide range of mounts.

Despite its solid build, the OTA remains lightweight at 6.74kg. The included aluminium carrying case provides secure protection and portability for travel and storage.

Ideal for both advanced observers and aspiring astrophotographers, the Sky-Watcher Evostar 120EDX OTA combines precision optics, premium mechanics, and user-friendly features to deliver a reliable and high-performance observing experience.
