Askar 103 APO Triplet Refractor Telescope

Explore the Cosmos with Precision: Askar 103 APO Triplet Refractor Telescope

Unleash the full potential of your astrophotography and observational experiences with the Askar 103 APO Triplet Refractor Telescope. This cutting-edge telescope combines advanced optics, thoughtful design, and optional accessories for a truly exceptional sky-gazing adventure.

Key Features:

1. Triplet APO Design: The Askar 103 APO features a triplet air-spaced APO lens design, including one piece of ED glass. This sophisticated design corrects chromatic aberration, ensuring high-quality object details and accurate color reproduction.
2. ED Glass: The telescope incorporates ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass, specifically designed to reduce chromatic aberration. This glass enhances image quality by minimizing color separation and providing exceptional clarity.
3. Two-Section Lens Tube: The telescope's two-section lens tube is carefully crafted to optimize light transmission and minimize internal reflections, resulting in enhanced brightness, contrast, and resolution of observed targets.
4. Versatile Focusing: The 3.3-inch R&P focuser with a 1:10 fine adjustment provides smooth and precise focusing for visual observations and astrophotography. The anti-reflective internal design and matting paint eliminate stray light, ensuring optimal image quality.
5. Retractable Dew Shield: The retractable dew shield protects the lens from external and internal light impact. The shield, combined with matting felt on the inner surfaces, reduces light scattering and reflection inside the OTA, further enhancing image brightness and contrast.
6. Finder Bases: With two finder bases on each side of the focuser, the Askar 103 APO offers flexibility in mounting additional astronomical accessories, eliminating the need for disassembly when changing the finderscope's position.
7. Multi-Functional Handle: The sturdy and durable handle not only facilitates easy transportation but also serves as a base for installing a finder scope, adding to the telescope's convenience and functionality.
8. Dovetail Plate: The lightweight dovetail plate, compatible with most equatorial mounts, features a raised base for accommodating astronomical accessories and additional extensions for balancing convenience.
9. Optional Accessories: Choose from seven packages, including full-frame flatteners and reducers, to customize your Askar 103 APO experience. Optional accessories include a 0.6x reducer, 0.8x reducer, 1x flattener, and compatibility with the Electronic Automatic Focuser (EAF).
10. 360° Rotator: The rear of the focuser features a 360° high-precision rotator with precise scales for easy adjustment and locking, allowing for precise rotation and capturing celestial objects at different angles.
