Now you can buy the popular Esprit 80 ED Triplet APO with matching field flattener at a discounted price! A very popular imaging refractor with superior glass, a stunning focuser, complete with accessories and a flight case.
Sky-Watcher Professional ESPRIT 3-Element ED apochromatic refractors offer optical performance rivaling similar telescopes from even the most famous high-end brands.
Designed primarily for demanding astro-imagers wanting high-contrast images full of detail and zero detectable colour fringing, even on the brightest of objects!
An M48-fitting doublet field flattener is also available to flatten the field and minimize aberration and distortion. When used with the field flattener the Esprit-80's imaging circle is 33mm.
The M48 fitting provides a large clear aperture to reduce halation and a precision thread ensures the triplet and doublet lens groups are precisely aligned on the optical axis perpendicular to the image.

Notes
When fitting a DSLR camera you need only a M48 Ring to suit your Canon or Nikon camera. No spacers are required.
The spacing for dedicated CCD imaging cameras is 54.9mm from mating surface (75mm from centre of rear element).
The rear thread is M48. When using T-threaded accessories you will need an M48-T adapter.
