Askar V Modular Astrograph

The Askar V telescope is a cutting-edge astrograph that stands out as the world's first instrument designed with modular optics. Its groundbreaking design allows for swift adaptation to meet various needs, whether it's astrophotography or visual observations.

The telescope tube seamlessly connects to lenses with apertures of 60 mm and 80 mm. Together with a dedicated flattener, reducer, and extender, these lenses cover a versatile focal length range from 270 mm to 600 mm. The Askar V telescope boasts a three-element apochromatic refractor optical system with an air gap, utilizing two low dispersion lenses for exceptional correction of chromatic aberration.

Beyond its astrophotography capabilities, the Askar V telescope offers opportunities for engaging visual observations as well. By connecting the diagonal attachment or glasses with 1.25" and 2" diameters, observers can explore the wonders of the night sky.
