150/1050 SkyWatcher Esprit apo

The new Sky-Watcher Professional ESPRIT 3-Element ED apochromatic refractors offer optical performance rivaling or exceeding similar telescopes from even the most famous high-end brands.

Designed primarily for demanding astro-imagers wanting high-contrast images full of detail and zero detectable colour fringing, even on the brightest of objects!  

An M48-fitting optically-matched doublet field flattener is also available to flatten the field and minimize aberration and distortion. When used with the field flattener the Esprit-150's imaging circle is 44mm.

The M48 fitting provides a large clear aperture to reduce halation and a precision thread ensures the triplet and doublet lens groups are precisely aligned on the optical axis perpendicular to the image.  

Main Features:

• 3-Element Objective Lens, Focal Length 1050mm (includes one Ohara FPL-53 ED lens)
• 3” CNC Machined 11:1 Rotatable Dual-Speed Linear Power Focuser
• Excellent field flatness across a 44mm imaging circle when used with the optically-matched field flattener 
• Zero detectable Colour Fringing even on Bright Objects
• Metallic High-Transmission Lens Coatings
• Knife-edge Baffled Optical System
• High-precision Mechanical Components
