This will provide us with a good understanding of the quality of that batch of optics. We would also test the focuser and check the optical tube, tube rings and dovetail bar and accessories for any visible damage or fault and take a series of test images with a full frame dSLR camera of a specially designed test chart that will show whether the telescope is fit for a full frame sensor or not, whether the image is flat in all corners and generally it will indicate the quility of the optics, i.e. resolution. Whilst we do store this information for all tested telescopes, we don't usually include a printed report, but if you ask, we might be able to send it to you). If we find that the optics are not correctly collimated then we will send them to a specialist to correct it or if the optics cannot be corrected to a good performance then those will be sent back to the manufacturer for replacement, although our experience with Sharpstar and Asker telescopes is quite good, we rarely had to do that. We believe that there is no need to offer complicated optical test reports that would assume a degree in optical sciences from the user to fully understand

extremely-fast focal ratio of f\/2.8 just a few years ago. We are referring to the very popular 15028HNT that has garnered a quite large following since its advent. Not indulging in this great achievement, Sharpstar keeps on with their creativity and dynamism, and now introducing the new 13028HNT to their customers, which has a same focal ratio but a slightly smaller aperture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 13028HNT, with a hyperbolic primary mirror, produces round and sharp stars within the full-frame format and supports a 44mm imaging circle. Compared with the more widely used focal  ratio of f\/4, the 13028HNT can attain the same image brightness with almost half of the exposure time. Additionally, due to its compact and concise design of the telescope tube, it will certainly create huge interest on the market. Users who need a compact, but extremely fast travel telescope would benefit immencely.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e365ASTRONOMY TESTING PROCEDURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would usually test about 30 - 60% of  the arriving Sharpstar and Askar telescopes (except the smallest ones in the FMA and ACL range). This will provide us with a good understanding of the quality of that batch of optics. We would also test the focuser and check the optical tube, tube rings and dovetail bar and accessories for any visible damage or fault and take a series of test images with a full frame dSLR camera of a specially designed test chart that will show whether the telescope is fit for a full frame sensor or not, whether the image is flat in all corners and generally it will indicate the quility of the optics, i.e. resolution. Whilst we do store this information for all tested telescopes, we don't usually include a printed report, but if you ask, we might be able to send it to you). If we find that the optics are not correctly collimated then we will send them to a specialist to correct it or if the optics cannot be corrected to a good performance then those will be sent back to the manufacturer for replacement, although our experience with Sharpstar and Asker telescopes is quite good, we rarely had to do that. We believe that there is no need to offer complicated optical test reports that would assume a degree in optical sciences from the user to fully understand them.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.365astronomy.com\/image\/cache\/wp\/lj\/product\/SHARPSTAR\/sharpstar-13028hnt-130mm-super-fast-f-2.8-hyperboloid-newtonian-reflector-telescope-red-3.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe primary mirror is made of a Pyrex-alike glass PZ33.

It’s quite convenient and helpful especially when you carry out some ground imaging or observation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn order to solve the awkwardness of carrying around your astrograph when you engage in field astrophotography, the FMA230 is designed with a pretty-looking and utility handle. The detachable handle is installed on the top side of the tube ring. The handle is not just literally a handle, the dovetail slot carved out of the handle can also be a base for the attachment of finders, guiders or ASIAIRs that have a corresponding dovetail foot. So you have more room to integrate as many accessories as possible. Besides, the handle is carved with 45°Arca-swiss style slots at the sides, so an upside-down handle can be directly slid into a corresponding Arca-swiss clamp on a camera tripod.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe lightweight and compact FMA230 is a new sibling from the Askar FMA- family, it will definitely bring your observing and imaging experience to a whole new level! \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAperture: 50mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFocal Length: 275mm or 230mm (with reducer) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFocal Ratio: f\/5.5 or f\/4.6 (with reducer)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eObjective type: Triplet Dual ED air -spaced APO (objective lens only) or Sex\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etuplet APO Refractor (with reducer)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOverall length: 248mm (when imaging with the reducer) or 221mm (when observing without the diagonal)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeight: 1045g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBack-end adapter:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eM48x0.75 male thread (photographic mode),\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2\" eyepiece holder barrel (observation mode)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFMA230 body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ea pair of multi-directional tube rings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eutility-handle (that also serves as a multi-purpose finderscope bracket)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etwo extension tubes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003einstruction manual\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2\" adapter (2\" eyepiece holder)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Askar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42440279261361,"sku":"ASKR-FMA230","price":669.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/1650\/4241\/files\/askar-fma230-f230-f55-755509.webp?v=1782295034"},{"product_id":"askar-acl200-200mm-f-4-professional-sextuplet-apo-telescope-1","title":"Askar ACL200 200mm f\/4 Professional Sextuplet APO Telescope","description":"\u003ch1 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eASKAR ACL200 200mm f\/4 Professional Sextuplet APO Astro Camera Lens (ACL) Mark II\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA WORLD FIRST!

Instead of buying extra flatteners, calculating the back focus of the flattener, or making a tedious connection to match the correct distance, astrophotographers can simply equip it with any possible imaging accessories, make the target stay at the focus, and then the whole optical system is perfect for imaging. \n\n\n65PHQ has a smaller size than other PHQ astrographs. 65PHQ has a focal ratio of f\/6.4 and a focal length of 416mm. Instead of the quadruplet structure of other PHQs, the 65PHQ is a quintuplet with two ED glasses which offers excellent control of chromatic and other aberrations. With its self-flattening design, 65PHQ offers strong advantages in the astronomical shooting. It supports the full-frame image circle and has a fine spot diagram with tiny distortions of the peripheral stars.\n\n长友气体\n65PHQ comes with a telescopic lens hood, a high-quality CNC machined and painted tube, and attractive decorative parts. The OTA weighs 2kg, and the full package with tube rings, etc. weighs 2.8kg. The 2.5” rigid focuser comes with a new-type 360° rotator with scales and a finder base. M68, M54, and M48 camera adapters are also attached, and the M48 adapter has a 2” female thread for installing filters.\n\n\nIt is also a nice choice for your visual observation. It fits diagonals as well as various eyepieces and can achieve a perfect focus. It can even be used to observe planets with a super-high magnification eyepiece. The 65PHQ contains a multifunctional handle, a 300mm dovetail plate, and sturdy double tube rings. It is small in size and light in weight, which perfectly caters to your need for viewing and shooting.\n\n长友气体\nSpecifications\n65PHQ Parameters\n\nAperture size\n\n65mm\n\nFocal length\n\n416mm\n\nFocal ratio\n\nf\/6.4\n\nObjective lens\n\nQuintuplet air-spaced APO (including two ED glasses)\n\nImage circle\n\n44mm\n\nMaximum accessory connection (with the focuser fully retreated)：\n\nImaging mode\n\n76mm（from the base of M48×0.75 male thread） \n\n105mm（from the base of M54×0.75 male thread）\n\n130mm（from the base of M68×1 male thread）\n\nObserving mode\n\n121mm（from the end of 2\" eyepiece holder）\n\nTotal length\n\n328mm（including 1.25\" eyepiece holder as dew shield contracted）\n\n388mm（including 1.25\" eyepiece holder as dew shield fully stretched） \n\n360mm（including the 3-piece adapter as dew shield contracted）\n\n420mm（including the 3-piece adapter as dew shield fully stretched）\n\nOTA Weight\n\n2kg\n\nTotal Weight (Including tube ring\u0026amp;dovetail plate）\n\n2.8kg\n\nRear-end thread type\n\nM68×1-M54×0.75\n\nM54×0.75-M54×0.75 \n\nM54×0.75-M48×0.75 (M48×0.75 filter thread inside)\n\nRear end of the 3-piece photographic adapters\n\nM48×0.75\n\nStandard package items\n\nA 65PHQ OTA, a pair of tube rings, a handle, Askar 300mm Vixen-style dovetail plate, a set of 3-piece photographic adapters, a manual\n\n \n\n \n\n长友气体\n\nVideo\n\nImages\n长友气体\n\nLogan Carpenter  | OED1 - The NilAdh Bubble   | ASKAR 65PHQ+ZWO ASI2600MM Pro\n\n长友气体\n\n酱油颜  | NGC6992  | ASKAR 65PHQ+294mc  | Colour Magic Super Duo Narrowband Filter\n\n长友气体\n\n酱油颜  | NGC7293  | ASKAR 65PHQ+294mc  | Colour Magic Super Duo Narrowband Filter\n\n长友气体\n\nZhu Li Qun  | Heart Nebula+Soul Nebula  | ASKAR 65PHQ+6200mm  | SHO total 8 hours\n\n长友气体\n\nJames Negri  | M42, The Great Orion Nebula  | ASKAR 65PHQ+ASI533mc  | Astronomik L-2 Luminance UV\/IR Block 1.25\"\n\n长友气体\n\nRumen Bogdanovski  | Lagoon and Trifid nebulae  | ASKAR 65PHQ+Player One Poseidon C Camera  | Colour Magic D1\n\n长友气体\n\nRumen Bogdanovski  | NGC 2237  | ASKAR 65PHQ+playerone poseidon c pro  | Colour Magic D1\n\n长友气体\n\nRumen Bogdanovski  | M8+M20  | ASKAR 65PHQ  | Colour Magic D1","brand":"Askar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42849692254385,"sku":"ASKAR-65PHQ-GREEN","price":895.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/1650\/4241\/files\/askar-65phq-65mm-f64-ed-apo-quintuplet-apo-pink-763953.webp?v=1782294918"},{"product_id":"zwo-ff107-apo-quadruplet-apo-telescope","title":"ZWO FF107 APO: Quadruplet APO Telescope","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eZWO FF107 APO Astronomical Telescope\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eand a FREE Reducer \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eZWO FF107 APO Main Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuadruplet Air-Spaced APO Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo need to calculate back focus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall and Round Stars with a central RMS radius of 3µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarious Adapters (M48, M54, M68, and M86)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-Speed (1:10) Focuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-flattening design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports both fine and coarse adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo need for a separate field flattener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZWO FF107 APO is a refractive astrograph with a powerful flatfield optical design, saving you from the expensive cost of a field flattener.
