Askar V Replaceable Objective Lens Telescope (ASKAR-V)

The new Askar V modular telescope has a versatile and innovative design that provides an excellent range of focal lengths, focal ratios and apertures in one highly convenient package.

Two V objective lenses (60mm and 80mm) are included. Also, an adjustable Field Flattener, Focal Reducer and Focal Extender with M48 and M54 adapters and an integrated 2" filter thread. The back focus is the usual 55mm. 

The V60 and V80 objectives feature a triplet APO design with two ED glass lenses, delivering high-quality images with negligible chromatic aberration.  

V60 native focal ratio is f/6, and the focal length is 360mm.

V80 native focal ratio is f/6.25, and the focal length is 500mm.

When the reducer is used with the V60 objective lens, the focal length is reduced to 270mm, and the focal ratio is increased to f/4.5. When used with the V80 objective lens, the focal length is reduced to 384mm, and the focal ratio is increased to f/4.8. 

The V flattener improves field curvature and edge quality and reduces aberrations. When used with the 60mm objective, the focal length remains 360mm, and the focal ratio is f/6. When used with the 80mm objective lens, the focal length changes to 495mm, and the focal ratio becomes f/6.18. 

The V extender is the highlight of the product set and demonstrates Askar's continued innovation. When used with the V60 objective, the focal length is 446mm, and the focal ratio is f/7.43. When used with the V80 objective, the focal length is 600mm, and the focal ratio is f/7.5. 

The Askar V includes a new scaled 360° rotator, a finder base and 1.25” and 2” visual adapters for visual astronomy.

The multi-function handle design makes the telescope easy to carry and connects to a vixen-style finder base and accessories.
