Skywatcher AP 72\/420 - compact apochromatic refractor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Skywatcher<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ideal for mobile astrophotography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accurate focusing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 2\u2033 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy to use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we recommend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2713 Moon: clear and sharp, craters and mountains visible
\u2713 Planets: colors and cloud bands easy to see
\u2713 Astrophotography: very suitable for wide star fields
\u2717 Beginners: some experience with focusing helpful
\u2717 Sun: only with appropriate filters<\/p>\n\n\n\n
