Black Diamond ED80/600 OTA, LET 2"-28mm eyepiece, 8x50 finderscope, 2" dielectric diagonal, dual-speed crayford focuser, tube rings, dovetail, aluminum case

The new Skywatcher ED Apochromatic refractors in their stunning Black-Diamond livery, house premium optics of the same quality and performance level as our now legendary Equinox series, making them superb instruments for both imaging and visual observations.

Apochromatic Refractors, due to their unobstructed, text-book like diffraction patterns, produce the sharpest, highest quality optical imaging available, bar-none, aperture for aperture, of any telescope optical system.

These high-end telescopes all feature a doublet objective lens. One element is made from premium Japanese Ohara FPL-53 Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass, which virtually eliminates chromatic aberration to deliver true colour reproduction. Top quality Schott glass is utilized for the Crown element.

Each air-to-glass lens surface has exotic anti-reflection metallic coatings applied, to ensure optimum light through-put of approaching 99.5%!!

The proprietary Sky-Watcher “Metallic High-Transmission Coatings” (MHC) are the finest photon anti-rejection coatings in their class.

Closure of Kingsway store

Dear Valued Customers,

We want to take a moment to update you on the recent developments at Markarian Fine Optics. As many of you know, we have done our best to provide you with our best service while struggling to keep up with the rising costs of business in Vancouver, but something had to change. That is why we are altering our business model.

As you are reading this we have closed our storefront at 1481 Kingsway. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused some of you and we sincerely apologize for any disruption in our communications over the past few weeks. The Canada Post strike severely impacted our operations this past Christmas, and halted the necessary revenue that would usually carry us through to the spring. We have already secured a small private office space to continue our sales and repair services. While this means we will be unable to meet most of you in person for the foreseeable future, we will be doing everything possible to maintain our standards and remain in contact with all of you. In the meantime we will keep you updated on our progress and look to this space as our new path evolves.


Anyone needing to get in contact with us may continue to do so via our Email and telephone as you have done in the past because these will remain unchanged. Email will be the more reliable means of contact while we are setting up, but we anticipate the phones to be working again soon. For anyone needing these contacts they are listed below:


Email: info@markarianfineoptics.ca
Phone: (778) 657-5330

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this transition, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to reconnecting with you soon and continuing to provide you with the services you expect from us.

Best regards,
Markarian Fine Optics
