Apochromatic telescopes

The fast 50 mm refractor with the improved ED 50 mm objective can be used as a travel telescope, spotting scope and guiding scope.

• Excellent image due to the 50 mm f/4 ED lens with blackened edges
• Straight view and adaptation of star diagonal mirrors or Amici prisms possible due to detachable tube
• High-quality Crayford focuser with 1.25" compression ring and T2 connection - supports up to 2 kg
• CNC tube rings with multi-function plate included
  Telescope fits in standard finder shoes (Skywatcher, Vixen, GSO, TS-Optics ...)
• 3/8" photo thread is available at the base. With a 1/4" reducer the adaption to any tilt and ball heads is also possible

The TS 4-element 62mm aperture refractor is a versatile spotting scope and telescope, a 520mm telephoto objective and a powerful guide scope for astrophotography.

• aperture 62 mm
• Focal length 520 mm -- Focal ratio f/8.4
• 4-element design for sharp imaging of moon, planets and deep-sky objects, but also daytime observing
• a versatile travel telescope for observing and photography due to a flat field of view
• sensitive Crayford focuser for precise focusing with locking screw
• 1.25" connector and T2 connector for screw adaptations
• sufficient working distance for use of 1.25" amiciprism, zenith prism and of course photo adapters
• finder shoe for direction finders, optical finders or mini guide scopes
• Carrying case with plenty of space for accessories
• Retractable dew cap - transport length only 310 millimeters
• High quality workmanship "Made in Taiwan"

A versatile ED refractor telescope for observation and photography - usable as APO spotting scope, guiding scope and super finder scope.

• aperture 60 mm / focal length 360 mm / focal ratio f/6
• 2-element APO objective with Nissan Super ED glass as APO element
• Usable as angled finder with optional 1.25" star diagonal or Amici prisms with 1.25" helical focuser (non rotating)
• 360° rotation on the eyepiece and camera side
• Can be used as a straight view finder with 1.25" helical focuser - the extension is integrated and screwed into the tube
• 1.25" "non-rotating" helical focuser - screw-on - with locking screw
• With the optional TSMPT60-Flat 1.0x corrector, the ED refractor becomes a full 360 mm f/6 telephoto lens for photography and astrophotography with objective focusing
• Includes adjustable clamps and dovetail bar for finder holder with 1/4" female thread for photo tripods

With the FMA180 Askar has created a triplet APO refractor with unique visual and photographic applications

• With just a few simple steps, the APO telephoto lens can be transformed into a compact astronomical telescope, a guide scope or a powerful spotting scope for landscape observation.
• Aperture 40 mm
• Air-spaced triplet ED lens for almost pure color image
• Photographic focal length 180 mm (with corrector) - focal ratio f/4.5
• 2" filter thread in front of the objective for nebula filters
• Focal length for observation 220 mm
• The photographic field of view is up to full frame size
• Precise helical focuser on the lens for accurate focusing - with locking mechanism
  T2 camera connection with 55 mm working distance (when used as telephoto lens)
• Weight only 395 grams
• Can easily be attached to the telescope instead of the finder
• Fits on any ball head - also ideal for mobile astrophotography with photo trackers like the Sywatcher Adventurer
• Ideally suitable also as mini guide telescope
• The FMA180 can be converted into a compact spotting scope for observation in just a few steps

TS Photoline APO refractor wit 72 mm aperture and fast f/6 focal ratio, a great travel telescope for observation and astrophotography.

• Powerful, aberration-free apochromatic refractor with 72 mm aperture and 432 mm focal length.
• Fast focal ratio: f/6
• FPL53 doublet objective (Ohara Japan), air-spaced - additional lanthanum glass element, so no chromatic aberration
• 2.5" dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser - ball bearing mounted for maximum load with M63x1 female thread for adaptions
• Retractable dew shield - the apo even fits into the hand luggage
