The Askar FRA400 refracting telescope has a 72 mm aperture and a 400 mm focal length. Its five-element air-spaced optical design produces a flat field with a diagonal of up to 44 mm, without requiring an additional field flattener or reducer.
ED glass elements, including Ohara’s FPL53 SuperAPO, help correct chromatic aberrations. The 3" Rack & Pinion focuser features a 360° rotator and a 1:10 reduction ratio for precise focusing, even under heavy loads.
