The Askar 140APO 140 mm f/7 triplet APO tube is a high-quality optical instrument designed for astronomy enthusiasts and experts. Its sophisticated design and manufacturing ensure that the telescope delivers uncompromising performance in both astrophotography and visual observation.
The 140 mm diameter triplet objective with ED lens elements minimizes chromatic aberration at a focal length of 980 mm. The tube features a 3.5" dual-speed rack and pinion focuser, ensuring precise focusing. A key feature is its 360-degree rotatability, allowing for easy adjustment in any position.
The tube design is particularly noteworthy for its two finder scope shoes and multifunctional handle, which provide convenient and secure usage. The reinforced tube rings offer extra stability, essential for extended observations. An optional 0.8x reducer is available for the Askar 140APO, enabling a focal ratio of f/5.6 for photography.
Thanks to its modular construction, the tube is well-suited for use with a binocular viewer. Its retractable dew shield makes it quite compact for transport, measuring only 735 mm in length.
