Compact, portable and powerful apochromatic refractor for beginners or as a travel telescope!
The Askar Flatfield Apo has a lens design with three front lenses in the objective and a rear correction lens. ED glass in the objective effectively reduces chromatic aberrations. The Apo is corrected for 44 mm full-frame cameras.
Thanks to the integrated correction lens (field flattener), the Apo does not require an additional flattener or complex back focus calculations. Simply connect your camera, adjust the focus and you're ready to take pictures. This makes astrophotography easier and more fun!
The telescope is compact and easy to transport, no matter where your journey of discovery takes you. It is designed for both visual observations and photography. It comes with a photographic adaptor with integrated 2-inch filter thread and has M48×0.75 and M54×0.75 thread connections, making it compatible with DSLRs and astronomical cameras for quick connection and instant shooting.
The telescope has a retractable dew shield that reduces the transport length and improves portability. The inside of the tube is lined with matt felt to better eliminate stray light, while the outside features an elegant blue and white colour scheme, high-quality CNC machining and paint finish.
The two finder shoes and carrying handles offer many options for attaching accessories.
The Vixen-standard prism rail is 230 millimetres long and can be screwed into place using 1/4" and 3/8" standard photo threads.
The R&P focuser (eyepiece extension) is equipped with a 1:10 fine adjustment. The fine adjustment knob has a non-slip knurled surface. The integrated 360° rotator allows the camera sensor to be optimally aligned with the subject. The focuser also allows for easy mounting of an optional electronic focuser, such as the EAF from ZWO.
