The Askar 160APO is a triplet refractor apochromatic optical tube assembly featuring a 160mm aperture, 1120mm focal length, and a native focal ratio of f/7. This telescope adopts a triplet air-spaced APO lens design including one piece of ED glass for excellent chromatic aberration correction. Designed for both astrophotography and visual observation, it features ED glass for chromatic aberration correction, a retractable lens tube, dual-speed focuser, and robust accessories. Due to the retractable lens tube design, the shortest overall length is only 883mm with a net weight of 11.4 kg, making it highly portable for a large-aperture refractor.
