The Askar 160APO 160 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 for both astrophotography and visual observation.
The 160 mm diameter triplet objective with ED lens elements minimizes chromatic aberration at a focal length of 1120 mm. The tube features a 3.5" dual-speed rack and pinion focuser, which ensures precise focusing. A key feature is its 360-degree rotatability, allowing for easy adjustment in any position.
The tube's design is particularly noteworthy due to the two finder scope shoes and the multifunctional handle, which provide convenient and secure usage. The reinforced tube rings offer extra stability, essential for longer observations. An optional 0.8x reducer is available for the Askar 160APO, enabling a focal ratio of f/5.6 for photography.
Thanks to its modular construction, the tube is also well-suited for use with a binocular viewer. Its retractable dew shield makes it quite compact for transport, measuring only 883 mm in length.
