Why we love the SharpStar 76EDPH Premium APO S Triplet Refractor (76EDPH)

Product Description

Sharpstar 76EDPH is the second arrival to the Sharpstar EDPH family. It has caught the spotlight for its aesthetic and streamline appeal since its entry to the market. Sharpstar 76EDPH features triplet air-spaced lens structure, including an ED(extra-low dispersion) glass ensuring an pleasing application in both visual observation and astrophotograph. This can effectively eliminate the chromatic aberration thus produce more detailed and higher-contrast images.

The aperture size is 76mm, and the focal length is 418mm, so the focal ratio is f/5.5. The whole length of the main tube is only 332.9mm when used with the dew shield contracted. Its compactness makes it a great companion for your outdoor sky observation as it can be easily packed in the travelling bags and brought onto the planes.

The rigorous and precise optical and mechanical design is the warranty for the performance of Sharpstar 76EDPH. A dedicated 2.5" f/4.5 full-frame reducer makes the ingenious device further ascend among the high-end, fast-focal-ratio astrographs.

Seems like it is great

From the limited amount of clear sky (only 4 hours for one night) it seems great. Nice pinpoint stars and great color. Dovetail is hilariously short and almost unusable. Will update once I can get some more photons through it.

Crisp images, well designed, out of the box ready for astro.

This is an outstanding APO. Crisp images, sharp focus, and ready to go out of the box (just add camera gear).

I've used this to capture stunning images with razor sharp clarity of M42, M31, NGC 2244 so far. The image quality this brings in is nothing short of exceptional.

This is an amazing "bang for the buck"
