Skywatcher AP 100/550 ESPRIT-100ED Apochromatic Refractor Professional OTA

Sky-Watcher Esprit-100ED: de favoriet van veeleisende fotografen

De Sky-Watcher Esprit-100ED is een apochromatisch triplet van 100/550 mm (f/5,5) met FPL-53-glas. Wereldwijd een van de meest geroemde astrografen in zijn klasse: genoeg opening voor detail, kort genoeg voor de grote velden en een kleurcorrectie die heldere sterren schoon houdt tot op pixelniveau.

Why an Esprit?

The Esprit line is Sky-Watcher's professional astrophotography series: air-spaced triplets with premium glass, built to place flat, color-pure star fields onto a camera sensor. Stars remain points even in the corners, even with large sensors, and bright stars do not develop a purple halo. This is the class where optics make the difference between a nice and a publishable photo.

Het gouden midden van de Esprit-lijn

Honderd millimeter triplet op f/5,5 is voor veel fotografen het eindstation: vrijwel elk deep-sky doel is haalbaar, van uitgestrekte nevels tot compactere sterrenstelsels. De meegeleverde 9x50 hoekzoeker en 2 inch star diagonal maken de buis ook visueel compleet.

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: reken op HEQ5-klasse of zwaarder voor het volle fotografische potentieel.
• 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.
• Never look directly at the sun without protection., not even for one photo: only with a certified solar filter in front.
