With a focal length of 220 mm, the objective is optimized and tested for demanding astronomical visual work as well as imaging applications. The objective is carefully matched to the 3-element focal reducer which is included with this package, that transforms the overall focal ratio to f\/4.5. With a resulting focal length of 180 mm, using that flattener, the Askar FMA180 Lens\/Telescope provides flat fields and razor-sharp images. This makes it ideal to use with your existing full-frame DSLR or dedicated astronomy camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e An image may show the product used with a camera and tracker, for illustration purposes only.

When configured for imaging with or without the focal reducer, the telescope side of the extension tube terminates in a standard M42x0.75 mm male T-thread for mating to a camera T-ring adapter (not included). The back focus is a standard 55 mm, or it can be changed to 99 mm if the user wishes, by removing an extension tube to allow more freedom to attach other camera accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor straight-through observing with an eyepiece or for use as a guide scope, there’s a standard 1.25” adapter that threads onto to extension tube. The scope can be configured to work with a 1.25” star diagonal (note: a star diagonal is NOT included) for visual observing. When configured as a finder or guide scope, the optical tube mounts in dual rings attached to a standard narrow Vixen-style dovetail. The dovetail riser can be removed to expose an Arca Swiss mounting plate to attach the scope to a suitable tripod head. The plate can also attach to a narrow Vixen equatorial adapter if you have one, (not included).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rings can be removed from the scope for use with a DSLR for handheld shooting or when the camera is tripod-mounted.

customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCompared with its siblings, the 500mm-focal-length refractor has an aperture size of 90mm (f\/5.6), so Askar FRA500 can better fit into the scenarios of deep-sky imaging than Askar FRA400.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBesides, its more lightweight and compact than Askar FRA600, which makes it a great choice for

designing. It boasts a quintuplet air-spaced APO optical structure, a \"three plus two\" Petzval lens combination. The front lens group consists of three lenses (including two pieces of ED glass) for excellent correction of aberrations. The posterior group is composed of two lenses separated by small space which is able to provide fine sharpness across the whole image. You may barely detect any blurry star at the edge of the image. FRA500 supports an image circle of amazing 55mm, much larger than the standard 44mm full-frame image circle. Its special back-focus design frees users from calculating confusing back-focus distance or rummaging around for a proper spacer. What you need to focus on is just to make your target stay in focus.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAskar FRA500 is typically a wonderful mix of pragmatism and aesthetics. The astrograph shows smooth lines and a sound layout of components. From the front, the Askar FRA500 has an impressive dew shield decorated with a classic bright-red bezel ring. The total length of FRA500 is 452mm when the dew shield is stretched out and 410mm when contracted back. At the tail end of the astrograph locates a 3.5\" massively-built focuser with dual-speed hand knobs (twin knobs for coarse adjustment and one 1:10 fine adjustment knob), which is of great use in real observation or astrophotography.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe astrograph wears smooth coating and is evenly finished. The graduation inside of the focuser is quite clear and easily readable. The focuser is tough and solid, and on the left side of it, there is a standard finder base with a silver thumb screw. So the FRA500 can piggyback carry finders, guiders or other potential astronomy accessories.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAskar FRA500 comes also with a pair of sought-after tube rings. On the top of the tube rings attached a handle and at the bottom, there is an Askar Losmandy-style dovetail plate. The combination of milk-white main tube and dew shield together with a high-gloss piano-black focuser makes the optical tube assembly calm and deep which is offset by the bright red decorative ring and tube rings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Askar FRA500 is 410mm long and weighs about 4kg , so it's quite convenient for users to carry around or mount on an EQ mount.

their budget-friendly version of the FRA400.  Unlike the FRA400, whose main focus (no pun intended) is astrophotography, complete with a heavy-duty 3\" focuser \u0026amp; rotator, the FRA400C is designed more like a multi-functional camera lens, and is great for daytime photography, day\/night visual use, and astrophotography.  Like a heavy-duty manual focus camera lens, the Askar FRA400C is designed with an integral helical focus ring and aperture ring that adjusts the focal ratio from f\/5.6 to f\/22.  While this system does not come with a CAA (camera angle adjuster), you can easily rotate the entire OTA to adjust the angle for imaging.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2766\/files\/FRA400C_Quint_Optics.jpg?v=1744312344\"

lens design that they use on their more expensive FRA400.  With a Petzval optical structure, this scope does not need a flattener, and back focus is easier to deal with.  The FRA400C supports a distance of between 50 mm \u0026amp; 60 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe definitely like the multi-functionality of the FRA400C.  You can add an optional focal reducer if you like, which would bring the effective focal ratio down to f\/3.9.  For imaging, you can choose from three different photo adapter sizes available on the rear of the scope...M72*1, M54*0.75, or M48*0.75 with a built-in 2\" filter adapter.  If you'd like to do some observing, this 72mm lens comes with a 2\" and 1.25\" eyepiece adapter and accepts standard eyepieces and other accessories.  Speaking of accessories, like the FRA400, this Quint accepts popular motorized focusers from ZWO, iOptron, QHY or PrimaLuceLab!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg
