The new Sky-Watcher ED refractors contain one element made from ED (Extra-low Dispersion) FPL-53 glass precision manufactured in Japan. This glass greatly minimizes chromatic aberration, provides higher resolution and superior contrast. Colour fringing around objects is virtually eliminated.
The Sky-Watcher PROED80 refractor also features a backlash-free 2" Crayford focuser. The focuser wheels contain brushed-aluminum hubs with ridged rubber grip rings. These ED refractors are ideal for visual applications as well as astro-photography.

How long will it take for my order to arrive? The Total Delivery Time for your order is calculated from the moment your order is placed until the time you receive it. The diagram below shows how your Total Delivery Time is broken down into two parts, pre-ship processing time and shipping time:

Pre-Ship Processing Time is measured from when you submit your order to when it leaves our warehouse. This time is needed for products that are shipped directly from the manufacturers to our distribution facilities. Manufacturers need this time to fulfil your order and in some cases, custom build the product.
Shipping Time is measured from when your order leaves the warehouse to when it arrives at your home or office. Your order will usually be delivered by either Australia Post eParcel or Australian Air Express courier services depending on your location. These services provide a fast and secure delivery method for your order.
*Estimated Shipping Times are based on estimated service standards promised by our couriers and are not a service level guarantee. Due to certain unforseen circumstances, shipping times could be less or more than the estimated shipping times above.
