Askar FMA180 PRO F/4.5
The new Askar FMA180 PRO F/4.5 is an updated version of the extremely versatile, lightweight sextuplet apochromatic refractor with two ED (extra-low dispersion) lenses. The Pro version features a newly-designed body with 360 degree rotator and 150mm Vixen dovetail base.
TThe FMA180 is a very capable super wide-field astrograph with minimal chromatic aberration and distortion. As well as its superb imaging capability, it can be configured as a visual telescope, finder or guide scope.
There is 1.25" female thread at the front of the astrograph suitable for all purchasable 1.25" filters and standard M42×0.75 male thread at the back which accommodates most stock DSLR or astronomy cameras (an extra adapter is needed). Our standard configuration includes a tube ring for the installation of Vixen finder base, a 1.25" visual adapter for the attachment of an eyepiece or a guiding camera as well as a high-quality focuser (with thread) and a setting thread to avoid any deviation in astrophotography.
As an ingenious optical design, our FMA135 will definitely offer you a super imaging experience.
