The 103 mm aperture already offers high light gathering power, resolution, brightness and beautiful contrast, so astrophotographers will enjoy more detail and brighter objects in their images. The Askar 103/700 APO is not only equipped with a triplet lens, but also features ED glass, which further improves image quality.
The Askar 103APO has two finder shoe mounts. This provides an additional mounting position for further astronomical accessories. The handle of the Askar 103 is designed so that it can also serve as a base for mounting a finder. The tube clamps weigh only 750 grams and have a large knurled screw that allows easy opening and closing.
The Vixen prism rail is compatible with most mounts on the market. The length of the rail (290 mm) makes it easy to balance the telescope on the mount.
Integrated tube extension: The tube has an integrated extension that can be pulled out or pushed in as required and locked in place with a clamping ring. This means that the APO can be used not only for photography but also for visual observation. The working distance is large enough for the use of a diagonal mirror and binocular attachment.
The Askar 103APO is equipped with a sturdy 3.3-inch focuser with reduction gear, which is also compatible with most focus motors on the market. The entire focuser is CNC-machined and has an anti-reflection coating on the inside, which provides additional protection against stray light. The focuser has a large 360° precision rotator with scales for convenient and accurate adjustment. The large locking screw holds the rotator securely in the desired position, even under high loads.
