  • Sky-Watcher Evostar EDX 120 APO Doublet

    The Sky-Watcher Evostar EDX 120 APO Doublet is the largest aperture in the Evostar EDX line, offered by Sky-Watcher as a limited edition while supplies last. Its 120mm air-spaced objective includes one element of FPL-53 extra-low dispersion glass in a matched lens assembly, and its 900mm focal length at f/7.5 gives a generous image scale for the Moon, the planets and smaller deep-sky targets. Sky-Watcher's Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC) and internal baffling keep stars sharp against a dark, high-contrast background.

    120mm FPL-53 Doublet with MHTC Coatings

    The Evostar EDX 120 uses a two-element, air-spaced objective built from a matched lens set that includes one FPL-53 extra-low dispersion element. This apochromatic design virtually eliminates false color, so bright stars and planetary limbs stay free of purple fringing. The objective is multi-coated with Sky-Watcher's Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC), and internal baffles block stray light before it reaches your eyepiece or camera.

    44% More Light Than the Evostar EDX 100

    Moving from 100mm to 120mm of aperture increases light-gathering area by 44%. That extra light shows fainter stars in globular clusters and more structure in galaxies. The longer 900mm focal length, compared with 700mm on the EDX 100, also enlarges small targets such as planetary nebulae, compact galaxies and double stars.

    Imaging-Ready 2.8-inch Dual-Speed Focuser

    A 2.8-inch Crayford-style focuser carries cameras, filter wheels and 2-inch diagonals without strain, and its 11:1 fine-focus knob makes it easy to reach critical focus at high magnification or with a high-resolution camera.

    • Camera Angle Adjuster: Rotate your camera or diagonal to frame a target without loosening the focuser.
    • Retractable Dew Shield: The thread-on dew shield slides out to 848mm of total tube length to slow dew formation, then retracts to 774mm for transport.

    Doublet Design: Less Glass, Lighter Rig

    Sky-Watcher chose a doublet rather than a triplet for the Evostar EDX line because less glass means less weight and a lower price. The savings can go toward your mount, camera or accessories, while the lighter tube keeps a 120mm imaging rig manageable in the field.

  • What is included with the Sky-Watcher Evostar EDX 120?

    Sky-Watcher ships the Evostar EDX 120 in a padded aluminum case with the 2.8-inch Crayford-style focuser, mounting rings with a carry handle, a V-style dovetail plate, a camera angle adjuster, a thread-on dew shield, a focuser adapter ring, a spacer and a 1.25-inch to 2-inch adapter. A star diagonal, eyepieces and a finder are not included.

    What kind of mount does the Evostar EDX 120 need?

    The tube is 774mm long with the dew shield retracted and comes with a V-style (Vixen-style) dovetail, the standard used by most small and mid-sized mounts. For long-exposure imaging, choose an equatorial mount with comfortable payload headroom for the tube, rings, camera and guiding gear, such as a mount in the Sky-Watcher HEQ5-R class.

    Can I use 1.25-inch eyepieces with the Evostar EDX 120?

    Yes. The focuser accepts 2-inch accessories, and the included 1.25-inch to 2-inch adapter lets you use standard 1.25-inch eyepieces and diagonals.

    Is the Evostar EDX 120 a good telescope for astrophotography?

    Yes. The FPL-53 doublet controls color well, and the dual-speed focuser, camera angle adjuster and included spacer and adapter ring are designed for imaging. Like all refractors it has some natural field curvature, so for stars that stay sharp to the corners of larger sensors, pair it with a field flattener matched to its focal length. Contact us and we will confirm the current compatible options.

    Why choose this doublet over a triplet apochromatic refractor?

    A triplet can offer a small edge in color correction, but it adds glass, weight and cost. The Evostar EDX 120 delivers apochromatic performance from a single FPL-53 element in a lighter, more affordable tube, which lets you put more of your budget into the mount and camera.

    Is the Evostar EDX 120 a permanent model?

    Sky-Watcher lists the Evostar EDX 120 as a limited edition available while supplies last.
