Skywatcher AP 62/400 - compact power for astrophotography
The Skywatcher AP 62/400 Evolux-62ED gives you bright and sharp images of stars and nebulae. The doublet ED lens delivers high contrasts and pure colors, with no visible distortion. This allows you to see details as they really are. This telescope is ideal for astrophotographers and visual observers who appreciate precision and lightness.
Compact and easy to carry
With a tube length of only 370 mm and a weight of 2.5 kg, you can take the telescope anywhere. The aluminum tube remains sturdy and stable. The sliding dew hood protects your image from condensation and light pollution. Everything fits safely into the included transport case.
Accurate focusing
The 2″ rack and pinion focuser with dual speed lets you focus quickly and precisely. The 1:11 reduction for fine focusing helps you bring the smallest details into focus. This keeps your shot clear and sharp even at long exposure times.
Perfect for widescreen photography
The Evolux 62ED is ideal for large sky areas. With the optional flattener, stars are sharp even at the edges of your picture. The reducer shortens the focal length and makes your shots faster and brighter. This is how you get the most out of your camera.
Star Adventurer GTi GoTo mount
The set comes with the Star Adventurer GTi Wi-Fi GoTo mount. This automatically tracks the movement of the sky. You easily set it up via your smartphone or tablet with the SynScan app. With a carrying capacity of 5 kg, it can safely carry your telescope and camera. The built-in pole finder and servo motors make accurate tracking easy.
