The technical data below the product description refer to the use of the 80 mm objective (V80) without flattener and reducer.
When using the second lens (V60) and the corresponding flattner, extender and reducer, the following values are possible:
- Focal length V60 + reducer: 270 mm (f/4.5)
- Focal length V60 + flattener: 360 mm (f/6)
- Focal length V60 + extender: 446 mm (f/7.43)
- Focal length V80 + reducer: 384 mm (f/4.8)
- Focal length V80 + flattener: 495 mm (f/6.18)
- Focal length V80 + extender: 600 mm (f/7.5)
This apochromat adapts to different tasks and is suitable for both astrophotography and daytime photography – a truly high-quality all-purpose instrument!
The interchangeable lenses of the V60 and V80 are both triplet apochromats with two ED elements.
The V60 has a focal ratio of f/6 and a focal length of 360 mm, the V80 has a focal ratio of f/6.25 and a focal length of 500 mm.
At the rear end there are M48 and M54 adapters with a built-in 2" filter thread, and the flange focal distance is 55 millimetres, which is ideal for connecting most DSLR cameras.
By using the reducer, the exposure time can be effectively shortened and the field of view extended.
The flattener reduces the curvature of the image field. It therefore improves the edge sharpness. The flattener is an indispensable aid for high-quality astrophotos.
The extender increases the focal length so that more details can be seen. This is particularly useful for close-up photography, but also for photographing the moon, planets and planetary nebulae.
The Askar-V-Apo is supplied with a 360° rotator and a finder shoe as well as 1.25" and 2" eyepiece adapters to enable visual observation. The multifunctional handle facilitates the connection of accessories.
