Askar AP 185/1295 Triplet OTA

185 mm apochromat: the penultimate step to the maximum

The Askar 185/1295 Triplet is developed for advanced astrophotographers and professional observatories. The 185 mm aperture combines massive light grasp with high resolution at a 1295 mm focal length (f/7): faint nebulae, galaxy groups, and planetary detail within a single instrument.

Uncompromising refractor class

The triplet objective delivers color-error-free stars across the entire field, and the complete scope of delivery with tube rings, Losmandy dovetail, and adapters makes the tube immediately usable, both photographically and visually. This is an instrument for a heavy permanent mount; the weight and tube length require a well-thought-out setup.
