The Askar 160APO 160 mm f/7 triplet APO optical tube is a high-quality optical instrument designed for astronomy enthusiasts and experts. Its sophisticated design and construction ensure uncompromising performance for both astrophotography and visual observation.
The 160 mm triplet objective with an ED lens element minimizes chromatic aberration at a focal length of 1120 mm. The optical tube features a 3.5" dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser for precise focusing. An important feature is its 360-degree rotation, allowing easy adjustment in any position.
The optical tube's design is particularly noteworthy thanks to its two finder scope shoes and multifunction handle, enabling convenient and secure use. Reinforced tube rings provide additional stability, which is essential during extended observing sessions. An optional 0.8x focal reducer is also available for the Askar 160APO, providing an f/5.6 focal ratio for imaging.
Thanks to its modular design, the optical tube can also be used effectively with a binoviewer. Its retractable dew shield makes it fairly compact for transport, measuring just 883 mm in length.
