Askar 120 F7 APO Telescope (APO120)

The Askar 120 APO is a professional astrograph designed for both experienced astrophotographers and those who enjoy visual observations. Thanks to its optical characteristics, it serves both purposes exceptionally well.

This telescope features a classic apochromatic triplet design with an air gap. To ensure superior correction of chromatic aberrations, Askar has incorporated a reduced dispersion (ED) glass lens, a solution commonly used in premium apochromatic telescopes. The interior of the tube is equipped with an advanced baffle system and is additionally painted with matte paint to eliminate reflections.

In addition to its astrophotography capabilities, this telescope also allows for visual observations when used with an angled adapter or eyepieces with a diameter of 1.25" or 2".

Beyond its excellent optical performance, the Askar 120 APO stands out for its high-quality mechanical components. The robust focuser supports even the heaviest astronomical cameras, while the mounting rings and Vixen foot, made with CNC technology, provide full stability for the tube.
