Askar 80mm f/7.5 APO Astrograph
With the PHQ series Askar has developed apos flatfield, where the image quality on the axis and in the field is crucial. The focal ratio is moderate, but the star image is excellent. The 80mm PHQ offers magnifications up to over 200x with good contrast.

The Askar 80PHQ is a real all-rounder
The transportable telescope can be used for almost all areas of amateur astronomy and offers excellent optical performance.

♦ Deep sky astrophotography with a focal length of 600 mm and a very wide corrected field of view. You can use everything from high-resolution cameras with fine pixels to full-frame cameras.

♦ Easy to use: just focus and you are at the optimal distance for excellent field correction.

♦ Planetary and lunar photography, thanks to the excellent correction of the optics on the axis and in the field, allows you to obtain sharp, high-contrast images, even with the extension of the focal length.

♦ Visual observation, the generous working distance also allows the use of 2" accessories.

The 3" rack and pinion photography focuser: The CNC focuser is optimized for photography and can handle a load of up to 8 kg.
The 110mm travel is very generous. The towing tube is adjusted via rack and pinion drive. The drive is decoupled from the draw tube bearing. This ensures fine and precise adjustment even at maximum load. In addition to the 1.25" and 2" sockets, the focuser also offers threads for screw adaptations.
