Specifications

The perfect entry-level EQ mount for those getting serious about astrophotography is now paired with the Evolux 82mm refractor at a new low price! WHILE SUPPLIES LAST - available through our website only.

The Sky-Watcher EQM-35 provides a convenient, stable platform for refractors up to 100mm or up to 127mm Maksutovs. Designed as an imaging system, it also works astonishingly well for visual use. This mount is perfect for the beginner to intermediate astronomer looking to expand their craft into astrophotography.

The removable dec assembly allows for the use of Star Adventurer L-brackets or ball head adapters, turning the mount into a heavy-duty tracking system for your DSLR or mirrorless camera and wide-field imaging.

If you’re looking for a lightweight, stable mount that is precise and easy to use, the EQM-35 is it!

Building on the foundation of the popular Evostar line of refractors, Sky-Watcher has developed the Evolux, designed for the savvy astrophotographer looking for a lightweight scope that still packs a punch with key upgrades in the optics and the mechanics, Evolux is a perfect fit for a widefield grab and go setup.

Sky-Watcher’s Evolux apochromatic doublet refractors are the perfect blend of superior extra-low dispersion glass and affordability. The lens assembly utilizes a proprietary combination of matched lenses, delivering tack-sharp stars with charcoal-black, contrast-rich skies. All ED glass elements feature our proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coatings™ (MHTC™), virtually eliminating all false color while the adjustable dew shield prevents stray light and condensation from affecting your photography.

Evolux comes in a foam-lined aluminum case with a 2.4-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion-style focuser, dual finderscope brackets, a V-style dovetail, clamshell ring, adjustable dew shield, and the optional reducer/corrector.
