Compact and Versatile Telescopes

Askar telescopes are engineered for a balance of portability and optical performance. Their designs include:

  • ED Refractors: Extra-low dispersion optics for high-contrast, color-corrected imaging.
  • Apochromatic Refractors: Crisp star points and minimal chromatic aberration for wide-field imaging.
  • Short Tube Refractors: Lightweight and portable options ideal for travel and small mounts.
  • Astrographs: Optimized for fast focal ratios, ideal for CMOS cameras and deep-sky imaging.

Accessories and Imaging Support

Askar provides a range of accessories to optimize your imaging train and observing experience:

  • Field Flatteners & Reducers: Maintain sharp stars across the full frame and reduce focal length for wider fields.
  • Focusers: High-precision dual-speed focusers for accurate backfocus adjustment.
  • Adapters & Mounting Solutions: Wide selection for cameras, filter wheels, and eyepieces, ensuring proper spacing and secure connections.
  • Camera-Compatible Designs: Most Askar telescopes support direct camera mounting for efficient imaging sessions.
