Sky-Watcher Esprit-80ED: de compacte professional
De Sky-Watcher Esprit-80ED is een apochromatisch triplet van 80/400 mm (f/5) met FPL-53-glas: kort, lichtsterk en gebouwd voor strakke, kleurzuivere deep-sky-opnames. Met f/5 verzamel je in de helft van de tijd wat een f/7-buis nodig heeft: op een Nederlandse hemel met beperkte heldere uren telt dat zwaar.
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.
Snel glas, complete uitrusting
De set bevat een 9x50 hoekzoeker en een 2 inch star diagonal, zodat de buis ook visueel direct inzetbaar is. Fotografisch is f/5 met triplet-correctie een krachtige combinatie: veel signaal per minuut en sterren die punten blijven.
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 kan met lichte camera's; een HEQ5-klasse montering geeft comfort en groeiruimte.
- 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.
For whom yes and for whom no

Featured accessories
These accessories add the most after purchase:
- 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.
