Apochromatic Refractors

Apochromatic refractor lenses are designed to minimize chromatic aberration far more effectively than achromatic lenses. An apochromat brings three different wavelengths of light, typically red, green, and blue, into focus at the same point, while also reducing spherical aberration at two of those wavelengths. This is usually achieved with a lens system of two or three elements made from special glasses, such as extra-low dispersion (ED) glass or fluorite, rather than simple combinations of crown and flint glass. The Skywatcher AP 150 refractor telescope has a three-element apochromatic objective lens.

Let’s be honest:

If you’re passionate about astronomy, you’ve probably felt the frustration of blurry images, chromatic aberration, and the endless struggle to keep your target in view. Maybe you’ve invested in “good enough” gear, only to be disappointed by lackluster performance when it really counts – during that once-in-a-lifetime planetary transit or the fleeting appearance of a distant nebula.

You want to capture the Universe in all its glory. You want details so sharp, colors so true, and stars so pinpoint-perfect that your images rival those from professional observatories. But the reality is, most telescopes on the market force you to choose between optical quality, tracking accuracy, and ease of use.

And let’s not forget the hassle of heavy, unwieldy setups that make every stargazing session a chore, or the endless tweaking required to get your mount aligned and your camera focused.

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone. Every advanced astronomer and astrophotographer has faced these obstacles. The difference between frustration and fulfillment is having the right tools – tools that don’t just meet your expectations, but exceed them at every turn.

Imagine missing that perfect shot because your mount couldn’t keep up. Or losing precious imaging time to setup headaches and unreliable tracking. The pain of “almost” is real – and it’s time to leave it behind.

Enter the Skywatcher AP 150/1200 EvoStar ED EQ6R GoTo – a meticulously engineered system that redefines what’s possible for advanced astronomers and astrophotographers.

At the heart of this powerhouse is the Evostar-150ED Apo doublet, featuring an undisclosed blend of Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass and a matched crown element. This combination, paired with exotic metallic anti-reflection coatings, delivers near-perfect light transmission and eliminates chromatic aberration.

The result? Razor-sharp, high-contrast images with true-to-life color – every time.

This optical accessory combines a field flattener with a 0.85x focal reducer, specifically designed for the Skywatcher EvoStar 150 ED refractor.

The field flattener corrects the natural field curvature produced by the telescope’s optics, ensuring stars remain sharp and well-defined across the entire image, including the edges. Without this correction, stars at the periphery appear distorted or slightly out of focus. By flattening the field, astrophotographers achieve consistently sharp exposures across the full frame.

The 0.85x focal reducer shortens the telescope’s effective focal length, providing a faster focal ratio. This reduces required exposure times and increases the field of view, making it easier to capture larger celestial objects in a single frame while improving imaging efficiency.

Installed between the telescope and the camera, this combined flattener/reducer is an essential accessory for astrophotographers seeking wide-field, high-quality, and uniformly sharp deep-sky images.

The Skywatcher GPS Mouse simplifies the operation of your mount by automatically providing accurate location and time data. With this accessory, there is no need to manually enter date, time, latitude, or longitude—simply power on your mount, and the handset instantly receives all required GPS information.

Compact and lightweight—similar in size to a standard computer mouse—this module adds convenience without adding noticeable weight. It significantly improves ease of use while also enhancing positioning accuracy.

Compatibility
The GPS Mouse is designed for all Sky-Watcher SynScan handsets from version 3.0 onward and can be used with:

• NEQ-3 Pro, NEQ-5 Pro, HEQ-5 Pro, and EQ-6 Pro mounts

• Sky-Watcher AZ GoTo mounts

• Sky-Watcher FlexTube GoTo Dobsonians

Installed between the telescope and the camera, this combined flattener/reducer is an essential accessory for astrophotographers seeking wide-field, high-quality, and uniformly sharp deep-sky images.

Key Benefits
