Askar astrographs are designed to simplify deep-sky imaging while delivering excellent optical performance. Many models feature integrated field flatteners or Petzval optical designs that produce a flat imaging field without additional correctors.
- Flat-field optical design for edge-to-edge star sharpness
- Excellent colour correction for high-contrast imaging
- Optimised for modern CMOS astronomy cameras
- Robust mechanical construction for stable imaging setups
- Excellent compatibility with reducers and imaging accessories
Popular Askar Telescopes for Astrophotography
FRA Series – Wide Field Astrographs
The FRA series is one of the most popular choices for wide-field astrophotography. These telescopes use a Petzval-style optical design with a built-in field flattener, making them ideal for capturing large nebulae and expansive star fields.
PHQ Series – High Resolution Imaging
The PHQ series offers longer focal lengths and excellent optical correction, making them ideal for imaging galaxies and smaller deep-sky targets.
SQA Series – Quintuplet Astrographs
The SQA series represents Askar’s advanced quintuplet astrograph design and is engineered for demanding astrophotography setups and large sensor cameras.
Choosing the Right Askar Telescope
Choosing the best telescope for astrophotography depends on the type of deep-sky objects you want to image. Shorter focal lengths work well for large nebulae and wide star fields, while longer focal lengths are better suited to galaxies and smaller targets.
