Full-frame cameras are fully utilized, with round stars right to the extreme corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Widefield without compromise<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The integrated flattener-corrector makes separate accessories unnecessary: tube, camera, and tracker, that's all you need for deep images of the Milky Way, large nebula complexes, and complete constellations. The Vixen dovetail and tube rings mount the tube directly onto any star tracker or mount, and the finder shoe accepts a red dot or mini-guidescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In the box<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>FMA180 Pro 40\/180 optical tube with integrated flattener-corrector<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vixen swallowtail<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tube Rings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Search shoe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For whom yes, for whom no<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pros: astrophotographers with a full-frame camera who want the latest version of this widefield specialist, for the sharper price of the two. Cons: those looking for more image scale for smaller objects; look instead at the Askar APO 103\/700.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Optical design<\/td><td>Apochromat with integrated flattener-corrector<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Opening<\/td><td>40 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Focal length<\/td><td>180 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Opening ratio<\/td><td>f\/4,5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Image circle<\/td><td>44 mm (full-frame)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attachment<\/td><td>Tube rings with Vixen dovetail and finder shoe<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Execution<\/td><td>OTA (loose tube)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unsure about the right tube for your camera and mount?
