Why we love the Sky-Watcher Evolux 62ED Doublet Apo Refractor OTA (S11305)

We love high quality refractors. These SkyWatcher doublets give crisp views with no distortion or false color. These are fantastic grab-and-go astrographs. If you're looking for a light, portable imaging rig, the Evolux should be on your short list.

Product Description

Building on the foundation of the popular Evostar line of refractors, Sky-Watcher has developed the all new Evolux. Designed for the savvy astrophotographer looking for a lightweight scope that still packs a punch with key upgrades in the optics and the mechanics, Evolux is a perfect fit for a widefield grab and go setup.

Sky-Watcher's Evolux apochromatic doublet refractors are the perfect blend of superior extra-low dispersion glass and affordability. The lens assembly utilizes a proprietary combination of matched lenses, delivering tack-sharp stars with charcoal-black, contrast-rich skies. All ED glass elements feature our proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC), virtually eliminating all false color while the adjustable dew shield prevents stray light and condensation from affecting your photography.

Evolux comes in a foam-lined aluminum case with a 2.4-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion-style focuser, dual finderscope brackets, a V-style dovetail, clamshell ring, adjustable dew shield, and the optional reducer/corrector.

Evolux 62

Quite a nice little package and a true bargain at the price. Just started imaging and nicely impressed. Small crisp pinpoint stars across my asi533. Will try on my Nikon d5300, but expecting the same. Nice star colors with no noticeable blue bloat. Delivery and followup service from All-Star was superb. Prompt, prompt delivery. Thank you again

All-Star telescopes and Evolux 62 ED

I bought some gear from you back in 2005-2007 time frame when I was living in Calgary. As it was then, your service is second to none. The 62 ED is all it is touted to be, a superb bit of kit. Bought it to replace an aging ST-80. Will be using mounted on secondary puck as a companion to an 8 inch Mead SCT. I flipped the dovetail end for end and add a 1 lb weight at the end. With a 8-24 Baader zoom on a 2 inch diagonal the little scope balances perfectly. I do recommend this solid little scope and do recommend All-Star telescopes.

Amazing economy in a knock around scope

I picked this up recently because I wanted a scope of this size range.

It is optically pleasing. It isn't perfect at all, but, it doesn't have any serious imperfections in terms of significant distracting chromatic aberrations.

It is solidly built, bit that comes at the cost of weight. ITS HEAVY, and that is one reason for so few stars. I was going to use this as a guidescope pair on a az-eq 5. What I realize is that this won't work.. it's too heavy. The parts are heavier than they need to be, but that's the price of economy.

I have been more than satisfied with its performance both visually and photographically. It's a nice scope to throw on a mount and take a quick look or walk. It's also cheap enough, it's not something to worry about excessively.

I would buy it again.
