Skywatcher AP 72/420 - compact apochromatic refractor

The Skywatcher AP 72/420 ED DS Pro is a compact but powerful telescope. The dual lens with ED glass and high-quality Schott crown glass gives you sharp images with minimal color errors. This keeps stars pointed and planets natural in color.

Ideal for mobile astrophotography

This small refractor is light and handy. You can take it anywhere and start observing or photographing right away. Its wide field shows large star fields without the need for a heavy astronomical mount.

Accurate focusing

The 2″ Crayford focuser with 1:11 fine adjustment gives you complete control. Even in long exposures or in-camera photography, you can focus quickly and accurately.

Easy to use

The telescope comes with transport case, tube rings, dew cap and accessory shoe. Everything is included so you can get started right away. The Vixen-style dovetail makes mounting on virtually any stand easy.
