Description
Traveling astrophotographers requiring an ultra-compact grab-and-go imaging setup rely on the Skywatcher AP 62/400 Evolux-62ED OTA doublet apochromatic refractor optical tube assembly. Designed with an f/6.45 focal ratio, this 62mm (2.44 in) aperture telescope features a 400mm focal length, delivering 1.87 arcseconds Dawes resolving power and reaching magnitude 11.5 for portable wide-field deep-sky imaging.
The Skywatcher AP 62/400 Evolux-62ED OTA incorporates a proprietary dual ED element objective using Schott and Ohara synthetic ED glass treated with 99.5% Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC). Its 295mm retracted aluminum chassis features a retractable dew shield and a 2.4-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser with a 1:11 micro-drive and dual finder shoes. Weighing 2.50 kg (5.51 lbs), it delivers an expansive 36mm corrected image circle when paired with its dedicated reducer.
Key Features of Skywatcher AP 62/400 Evolux-62ED OTA
Built for ultra-compact travel astrophotography and grab-and-go wide-field observation, this 62mm Sky-Watcher Evolux refractor pairs dual ED doublet optics with a precision 2.4-inch focuser. Its retractable dew shield and clamshell mounting ring make mobile deep-sky imaging effortless.
- 62mm (2.44 in) clear aperture with 400mm focal length and versatile f/6.45 optical speed
- Proprietary dual ED element combination utilizing Schott and Ohara synthetic glass
- Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC) achieving 99.5% optical transmission
- 0% secondary mirror obstruction for clear unobstructed refractor light transmission
- 2.4-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser with 1:11 micro-focus gear reduction
- Dual finder mounting shoes integrated directly onto the focuser housing
- Vixen-style 44mm dovetail bar with integrated clamshell mounting ring
- Retractable dew shield and custom aluminum hard case included
Dual ED Doublet Optics & 36mm Corrected Field
The proprietary dual ED glass combination suppresses chromatic aberration across wide optical fields, delivering tight star profiles on APS-C and full-frame sensors. With zero central obstruction (0%), this compact Sky-Watcher refractor supports magnifications from 8.9x up to 124x.
2.4-Inch Rack-and-Pinion Focuser & Dual Finder Shoes
Rigid drawtube mechanics are essential when mounting camera sensors and autoguiders. The Sky-Watcher Evolux-62ED features a 2.4-inch rack-and-pinion focuser with 1:11 micro-reduction that supports imaging gear without drawtube tilt. Equipped with dual finder shoes, it allows simultaneous attachment of guide scopes and automated alignment accessories during field astrophotography.
- 2.4-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser with 1:11 precision micro-focus reduction
- Dual integrated finder base shoes for mounting guide scopes and control modules
- Custom aluminum hard storage case with precision foam lining for travel protection
