Serious enough for the discerning eye, yet affordably priced. The Sky-Watcher Equinox 100mm is a premium refractor telescope that produces razor-sharp, false colour-free views, highly suitable for astrophotography and observing.

Using the finest FPL-53 low-dispersion glass, the Equinox series yields outstanding color correction, high contrast and excellent image fidelity. The difference is night and day over an equivalent Achromatic refractor.

The machining and finish of the Equinox series telescope is excellent. Non-marring brass compression fittings, highly optimized anti-reflection coatings, multiple tube baffles, and solid machined tube rings cap off Sky-Watcher's attention to fine detail.

For jaw-dropping views of the skies, trust the Equinox series - they won't disappoint.

Apochromatic refractors have somewhat of a cult following; they are considered the finest instrument to observe and photograph the skies. Once relegated to a price range affordable by those drowning in money, they have come down to swim in the shallow end.
