Askar FRA500

The Askar FRA500 combines a 90 mm aperture, 500 mm focal length and f/5.6 focal ratio. Its quintuplet 3+2 Petzval system includes two ED elements and supports a 55 mm image circle, extending beyond a conventional full-frame sensor.

Camera connection

Native field correction is integrated. Fit the camera train within the published connection limits and focus; an additional native flattener is unnecessary. Askar specifies 85 mm from the M48×0.75 conical-extender reference or 158 mm from the M86×1 rotator reference to the focal plane.

Focus and mounting

A 3.5-inch rack-and-pinion focuser provides coarse and 1:10 fine adjustment. The telescope includes a finder base, tube rings, multifunction handle and a 300 mm Losmandy-style dovetail plate. The retractable hood reduces transport length.

Dimensions and optional reduction

The technical table lists 407 mm contracted and 452 mm extended, with 4.1 kg bare OTA and 5.2 kg including rings and dovetail. A matching f/3.9 reducer is separately available for a wider, faster configuration and has its own prescribed camera spacing.
