Its 10:1 dual-speed Crayford focuser allows precise manual focusing, while proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coatings minimize chromatic aberration for crisp, vibrant views. Designed for both visual astronomy and astrophotography, it includes a complete accessory kit and a durable aluminum carrying case, making it an ideal choice for millennial professionals seeking a high-performance, portable telescope that grows with their skills. ## Description For astronomers looking to elevate their viewing experience with superior extra-low dispersion glass, look no further than Sky-Watcher’s EvoStar series of apochromatic doublets. Whether you’re viewing the Moon for the first time or a seasoned astronomer, savor one of the finest viewing experiences Sky-Watcher has to offer.The EvoStar ED refractor lens assembly utilizes a proprietary combination of matched lenses, designed to deliver optimum visual and photographic performance. Even when observing bright planetary objects, the EvoStar ED refractor minimizes color fringing to deliver an image with tack-sharp stars. Central to Sky-Watcher’s color correction is their Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC ), which eliminates virtually all false color. All EvoStar ED refractor optical tubes have been light-baffled to minimize stray light, and the tube interior features a matte black finish to prevent light reflections from reaching the focal plane.For the visual astronomer looking to try their hand at astrophotography, the Sky-Watcher EvoStar ED refractor series provides the perfect pathway to professional-level imaging without the need for braking the bank. Doublets cost less to produce, making them considerably less expensive than triplets. Additionally, fewer lens elements means less glass, which means less weight. Less weight means you can handle your equipment with a less beefy – thus less expensive – mount. With these savings you can invest in a new camera or laptop to enhance your astrophotography.Like the optics, the tube is beautifully crafted featuring rolled steel with our Sky-Watcher signature Black Diamond metal-flake finish. To contrast, the front and rear cells are constructed with a textured off-white aluminum casting. Whether you’re viewing from a home observatory or at an outreach event, the EvoStar ED refractor stands out amongst a crowded field of telescopes.Sky-Watcher EvoStar includes rings and a dovetail, giving you the perfect setup that’s ready to go at a moment’s notice. The 2” dual-speed Crayford-style focuser provides precise focusing using roller bearings that provide minimal image shift. This 120mm EvoStar also includes a right-angle 8x50mm viewfinder with bracket; 2” dielectric diagonal; two 1.25” LE (Long Eye relief) eyepieces (LET 25mm and LET5mm); 1.25” focuser adaptor; and tube ring attachment hardware that works with compatible mounts. Our optical tubes are shipped with a foam-lined aluminum case to help transport your investment to and from star parties or any other field-based observation. ## Features - EXPERTLY MATCHED GLASS: The EvoStar series features a matched doublet objective including one synthetic fluorite element, providing excellent color correction for visual and photographic uses - OUTSTANDING COLOR CORRECTION: Using the finest quality glass and proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC), EvoStar refractors produce tack sharp images with accurate color and minimal aberrations - EVOLVES WITH SKILL: No need to replace this telescope as your skill set evolves.

This is a powerful enough telescope that having a cut-rate tripod will negate the money you spend on the scope. If you are on a tight budget get a good moderate, entry-level tripod, like the Orion Sirius EQ-G, which I note is available through Amazon. You can obviously get a much less expensive mount, but the more powerful a telescope, the more sensitive it is to vibration and instability in the mount. I would go with the Atlas, since overkill in the mount is a good idea, but the Sirius can handle that scope unless you put some heavy cameras and a reducer on it like I did. If shelling out another $1,200 is too much for you, then get a less expensive telescope, in the 80mm range, and put it on the $1,200 mount. A good rule is that your mount should be better than your scope, and cost more. If not, then you are wasting your money on the scope and will be unhappy with the result. **Q: Is this the same as the evostar 120ed on the sky-watcher website?** A: Yes, the ProED has been rebranded to Evostar. They are the same scope. **Q: check your price, everyone else is $1000 under yours, I think it is missed priced?** A: The price is $1,549 from Sky-Watcher, but it is not $2,013.70 any other place on the planet. **Q: what phone camera adapter is available for this refractor? If possible need model # for the adaptor? Thanks!** A: All of the phone adapters I've seen attach to the eyepiece not the scope so they can be used with any scope. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron Sky Watcher Sky-Watcher EvoStar 120 APO Doublet Refractor – Compact and Portable Optical Tube for Affordable Astrophotography and Visual Astronomy - Sky Watcher EQM-35 – Fully Computerized GoTo German Equatorial Telescope Mount – Belt-driven, Astrophotography ready, Computerized Hand Controller with 42,900+ Celestial Object Database,White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1161510-celestron-sky-watcher-sky-watcher-evostar-120-apo-doublet-refractor](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1161510-celestron-sky-watcher-sky-watcher-evostar-120-apo-doublet-refractor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-01*
