Product description

This Askar APO uses multiple lens elements to correct chromatic aberration, resulting in higher image quality.

  • The tube is CNC-milled and finished with a durable paint coating or anodised.
  • Despite its large aperture and long focal ratio, the 185APO is very compact: the shortest overall length is only 1081 mm.
  • The large locking screws ensure easy operation. The knurled screws allow the clamps to be opened and closed easily.
  • The APO handle has a long hole so that it can be used to attach accessories. The handle itself is 400 mm long.
  • The prism rail is 400 mm long and has numerous mounting options. The distance between the clamps is variable.

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.

Focuser: The 3.5-inch rack and pinion focuser is compatible with most modern focus motors. The focus travel is 100 mm. The entire focuser is CNC-machined and has an anti-reflective coating on the inside. A scale makes it easy to set a specific position.
The large 360° rotator has precise scales for convenient adjustment and a large locking screw that is easy to tighten even under high loads. Adaptors for 2" and 1.25" accessories complete the equipment.
