Really neat bit of astrophotography kit - seems made with a very high quality level and built sturdy as an ox! I personally will use it for astrophotography so will want to get the field flattener/focal reducer, which costs as much as the scope itself, which is annoying, but I suppose when you consider you will have a triplet equivalent of a redcat, which is triple the price, not too bad. I'm hoping to use it as a travel scope, with my camera tripod and startracker mount it all fits into my motorhome without being intrusive enough to even notice. I like the metal case it comes with too. I would like to see more scopes come with storage options for when not in use as most of us have a couple of scopes laying around so safe and neat storage is of real importance. Lovely high quality metal storage case actually with cut out foam inserts to keep the scope tightly packed - you could easily sit or stand on it without damaging the contents. Even looks good 👍 Very happy with this product which with the FF, has to be said is a Redcat killer!

First class FLO delivery and packaging as always.

There are lots of small refactors like this to choose from

Scope feels really good quality; like the fact it has 2 finder shoes; and focusser has a good feel.

Found that I could reach focus easily with my 1.25" diagonal; and ASI678.

For visual/Astrophotography use I have found the optics sharp and haven't really noticed any CA.

Nice, compact little scope that I have build into a portable imaging rig.

Very happy customer.

Only just received skywatcher 62ED it's appears well made, all works, arrived fast . not had chance to test it yet,

I have to agree with the 1st reviewer! The build quality is premium heavy, much better then the build quality of my previous scope the Evostar 72ED. Skywatcher have upped their game!

The Evolux 62ED comes with two finderscope shoes, one I can mount my 30mm Guidescope and the other to mount my Mini PC, which means my setup can be neater running smaller cables.

I like the idea of having a Rack & Pinion focuser attached with two locking thumbscrews on either side. The matching flattener/reducer comes with a camera rotator which is of premium quality (which is at additional cost). The dewshield has a nice finish to it with a couple of thumbscrews to hold in place.

The first image I took was of NGC6811, no false colour or blue bloat was noticed. So don't get too hung up if the glass is not specified. It's a premium scope - Especially when both sides of the drawtube reads: Exclusive Design by OL (Lichtenknecker Optics).

The build quality is fantastic. Optically very good indeed. Focusing is great and it has two focus locks.

First imaging test was Double Cluster in Perseus. All stars across the image were pin sharp and showed good colour.

II have no problems with autoguiding on my AZ-GTi mount on my portable rig. An excellent telescope.
