Askar 203 mm f/7 EDT triplet apochromat with 3.5" RAP focuser

This apo is one of the largest apochromatic refractors on the market and ideal for observatories. Sharpstar also offers uncompromisingly good value for money with this apo. Teleskop-Service tests every APO mechanically and optically before storing it. Only first-class objectives leave our warehouse.

The air-spaced triplet apo objective

The Askar APO series uses special optical designs and multiple elements to correct chromatic aberration, resulting in a higher quality image. ED glass, also known as low dispersion glass, is an optical glass specifically designed to reduce chromatic aberration.

Integrated tube extension for more flexibility

The tube has an integrated extension that can be extended or retracted as required and locked in place with a clamping ring. This allows the AS203APO to be used not only for photography but also for visual observation. The working distance is large enough for the use of a star diagonal mirror and binoviewer.

The 3.5" rack-and-pinion focuser

The Askar Apo is equipped with a stable 3.5-inch rack and pinion focuser with speed reduction, which is compatible with most current focusing motors. The drawtube travel is 100 mm. The entire focuser is CNC-machined and has an anti-reflection coating on the inside. A scale makes it easier to set a specific position. Two finder shoes are included in the scope of delivery.
The large 360° rotator has precise scales for easy adjustment and a large locking screw that is easy to tighten even under heavy loads. Adapters for 2" and 1.25" accessories complete the equipment.
The tube is CNC-machined and finished with a durable paint or anodized.
