The Askar 160APO refractor telescope features an air-spaced triplet apochromatic optical system with one low-dispersion ED glass element to reduce chromatic aberration and preserve accurate colors and sharp details. With a 160 mm aperture and a 1120 mm focal length, it is designed for astrophotography and wide-field visual observation.
The 3.5" rack-and-pinion focuser features dual-speed adjustment, a 1:10 reduction ratio, and a 360° rotator with a graduated scale for framing shots. The telescope is compatible with optional 1x field flatteners and 0.8x reducers.
