Home Telescopes Optical Tube Assemblies SkyWatcher Optical Tubes SkyWatcher EvoGuide 50ED 50mm ED Guidescope
Sky-Watcher's EvoGuide 50ED is the ultimate new high quality 50mm doublet ED Guidescope, finder or ultra portable telescope, utilising world class Ohara S-FPL53 glass for the ED element. Corrections are amazing with the use of ED glass, colours are true and contrast is superb. With a focal length of 242mm it has a very fast focal ratio of just f/4.8. The Evoguide is equipped with a fine and precise helical focuser enabling sharp focus to be easily acheived visually or on a camera sensor. It can also be used as a finderscope, or just as a small richfield premium telescope for travelling. Please note it can only be used straight through, a star diagonal cannot be used.Dovetail bar & Finder stalkThe Evoguide-50ED is now supplied with a standard Vixen type 45mm dovetail bar for telescope mounting, a 1/4-20 thread for tripod mounting and a finderscope dovetail bracket for mounting onto a standard finderscope shoeOptical AdvantageThe use of genuine Japanese OharaS-FPL53 glass not only provides superb colour correction and contrast visually but is beneficial to auto-guiding, stars that are better corrected are smaller and better resolved so take up less pixels on the sensor for more accurate guiding during long exposure imaging.Image with the Evoguide 50EDIdeal as a small premium wide-field lens for your camera, using the Ohara S-FPL53 glass the Evoguide is perfect for use with Cameras, use the optional field flattener (see related products) to get pinpoint stars accross a 6 degree field.Specifications Highest practical power: x100 (Eyepieces not supplied) Objective lens diameter: 50 mm Telescope focal length: 242 mm (f/4.8) Focuser: fine helical (1.25) Camera / Eyepiece connection: T2 thread / 1.25 socket Optic: Doublet ED lens with 2 Ohara glass lenses (1 lens S-FPL53) Collimation rings & Bracket Dovetail bar
Excellent dual purpose guidescope I'd read a lot about this scope and was eager to get hold of one. An actual ED glass equipped guidescope! Who could not want one. Harrison Telescopes were very good with my enquiries about it, and shipped it really quick - especially at the cost they quoted. Can't wait to use it. (12/12/2021) Richard - Derbyshire
Nice accompaniment to ED80 and outright scope I intended to buy this as a guide scope for my ED80 however decided to purchase the field flattener that can be purchased separately as it can be used as a wide field imaging scope in its own right. Looking forward to seeing what it can do but a very well finished instrument. Was delivered quick (01/08/2021) Rob Frost - Tamworth
Well constructed item along with very good service I ordered the Evoguide 50ED to replace a simple red dot finder. It proved a good move. The 'scope is well constructed and has multiple mounting options. Helical focussing is smooth and fine. Adjustment of the axis is simple with three fixings on each of two rings. Excellent service from Harrison. (08/02/2021) -
A beautifully crafted instrument, very well packed and delivered promptly. I’m looking forward to a clear night to try it out and expect good results. (21/11/2018) John Mason - Shrewsbury
Very good upgrade replacement finder/guide scope Frustrated by the difficulty of achieving good focus with the standard finder/guide scope supplied with an ED80DS-Pro I purchaed the EvoGuide. First impressions are very good with good control over focus and a clear improvement in guiding performance; used with a ZWO ASI120MM-S and PhD2. (16/02/2018) - Derby
