Askar 91F - 91 mm f/6.7 Flat-field Quadruplet Apochromat for Astrophotography and Observation
Compact premium astrograph with integrated flat-field correctorThe Askar 91F is a high-quality 91-mm quadruplet apochromat with a focal length of 609 mm and a native focal ratio of f/6.7. Thanks to its integrated flat-field corrector, it produces a perfectly illuminated image field all the way to full-frame - without the need for an additional flattener or complicated back-focus calculations.
The four-element optical system consists of three lens elements in the objective and an integrated corrector element at the rear. High-quality ED glass effectively reduces chromatic aberrations and ensures high-contrast images with point-like stars all the way to the edge of the 44 mm image circle.
Ready to use for astrophotography right out of the boxThe Askar 91F was specifically designed to make getting started with astrophotography as easy as possible. Thanks to its built-in flat-field correction, there´s no need to search for the right flattener or to precisely adjust the back focus. Just connect your camera, focus, and start shooting right away.
The package includes a photographic extension tube with an integrated 2" filter thread, as well as adapters for M48×0.75 and M54×0.75, allowing both DSLR cameras and modern astro cameras to be connected without any problems.
Ideal for astrophotography and visual observationWeighing just 3.92 kg for the tube (4.52 kg including tube rings and dovetail bar), the Askar 91F is easy to transport and makes an excellent travel telescope.
In addition to its excellent performance in astrophotography, it also impresses during visual observation with high-contrast, true-color views of the Moon, planets, star clusters, and deep-sky objects.
High-quality mechanics for precise workThe Askar 91F also meets the highest mechanical standards:
Sturdy 3" rack-and-pinion focuser Fine focus with a 1:10 reduction ratio 360° camera rotator with scale for precise image alignment Retractable dew shield for compact transport dimensions Matte black felt lining for effective stray light suppression Precision CNC-machined tube in an elegant blue-and-white designThe numerous mounting options are particularly practical. The 130-mm-long carrying handle features an integrated finder shoe mount. Additionally, there are finder shoes on both sides of the focuser, allowing for flexible mounting of finders, guidescopes, or other accessories.
This is how Teleskop-Service guarantees the consistently high quality of the refractor: The mechanics are tested, and the focuser is optimally adjusted. The objective lens is inspected for cosmetic defects and cleaned. In addition, all locking screws are checked to ensure they are properly tightened. These often come loose during shipping. The optics are collimated, and the result is verified on the optical bench. The telescope is assigned a serial number. A complete optical test report is generated and included with the telescope (star images and a Ronchi test image taken on the optical bench using autocollimation). Only then are the telescopes transferred to the warehouse and prepared for shipment.Whether for deep-sky astrophotography, planetary observation, or birdwatching and travel, the 91F is your ideal companion for exploring the world.Promotion videoThe manufacturer has released a video about this telescope:
