The Skywatcher Esprit series of high-quality triplet apochromats is very popular in the astro scene. Skywatcher has managed to build great telescopes for visual and photographic use at very competitive prices. The optical design contains a high quality FPL-53 ED element and is spherically and chromatically corrected very well. You can await on a very high-contrast, color-neutral and distortion-free image. An extensive range of accessories makes this series very versatile and universally usable.
With 550mm focal lenght (f / 5.5), the 100mm model is quite compact and excellently suited for wide-field observation and photography. The extra aperture is "rewarded" with more visible objects. The astrophotographer can resolve more details on smaller objects.
