Sky-Watcher Evolux-62ED APO Refractor (OTA)

Sky-Watcher Evolux-62ED (OTA): de zak-astrograaf

De Sky-Watcher Evolux-62ED is een apochromatische refractor van 62/400 mm (f/6,45) met een ED-dublet, gemaakt voor lichte, mobiele deep-sky-fotografie. De buis weegt zo weinig dat hij op elke reismontering past, en levert sterrenvelden met hoge contrasten en zuivere kleuren. Dit is de losse buis; er zijn ook complete sets met Star Adventurer GTi montering.

What can you photograph with it?

Short, fast apochromats are made for the grand showpieces: the Andromeda Galaxy, the North America Nebula, the Pleiades, and extensive H-alpha regions fit comfortably on the sensor. Stars remain sharp points without color fringing, from the center of the image to far into the corners (with a flattener). Visually, such a tube provides wide, bright star fields.

Gemaakt voor onderweg

Met een dedicated flattener erachter wordt de 62ED een volwaardige mini-astrograaf die in een rugzak past: donkere locatie opzoeken, set opbouwen in tien minuten, fotonen vangen. De 2 inch focuser accepteert flattener, camera-adapters en visuele accessoires.

This is how to get the most out of this telescope

• Virtually no cooling time and no collimation: A refractor is ready within fifteen minutes, and the optics stay aligned. More time for photons.
• The setup determines your photo result: een Star Adventurer GTi of vergelijkbare volgmontering is genoeg; dit hele systeem draait om laag gewicht.
• Plan to flatten me: For sharp stars all the way to the corners of your sensor, a field flattener is essential for a photographic refractor. Order it along with your initial purchase to avoid a second waiting period.
• Dew control is essential with lenses: A dew cap or dew heater prevents the front lens from fogging up in the middle of a session.
• Visually pleasing as well: als widefield-kijker toont hij complete sterrenbeelden in één beeld.
• Never look directly at the sun without protection., not even for one photo: only with a certified solar filter in front.

For whom yes and for whom no

Hello de fotograaf die een tweede, ultramobiele set wil naast de vaste opstelling, en de starter die klein maar goed wil beginnen.

Not Voor visueel planeetwerk is 62 mm te bescheiden; Wil je astrofotografie zonder montering-leercurve en nabewerking, dan zijn de smart telescopes the shorter route; ours Telescope Buying Guide for Beginners explain the difference.

Featured accessories

These accessories add the most after purchase:

• Field flattener: For astrophotography with a doublet, a flattener isn't a luxury: it sharpens stars in the corners of the image. Sky-Watcher provides one including a T2 adapter.
• Camera adapter: The Sky-Watcher M48 adapters connect your Canon EOS or Nikon directly to the flattener or focuser.
• Light Pollution Filter (2 inch) Under the Dutch or Belgian sky, a light pollution filter can significantly enhance the contrast in your photos.
