Askar N160 - 160/544 mm f/3.4 Newtonian Astrograph

The Askar N160 is a Newtonian reflector with 160 mm aperture and an f/3.6 native focal ratio, designed for deep-sky astrophotography.

With the included 2-inch 0.95× coma corrector, the system focal ratio is optimized to f/3.4. This coma corrector features a triplet air-spaced design and threaded connections,allowing it to be securely attached to the focuser.

The N160 supports APS-C format imaging and delivers excellent star performance.

Both the primary and secondary mirrors are made of high-borosilicate glass, which has an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent stability.The primary mirror of the Askar N160 features a high-precision parabolic design, effectively eliminating spherical aberration. The secondary mirror has a minor axis of 61 mm and a major axis of 86 mm.

The Askar N160 tube is made of high-quality carbon fiber, offering both high strength and light weight. The side of the tube features a pre-drilled finder base, allowing you to mount accessories as needed.

The Askar N160 equipped with a dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser. 25 mm focus travel provide ample room for achieving focus.It supports the installation of an electronic focuser.The focuser base features angle adjustment screws and angle locking screws to ensure precise alignment between the focuser axis and the primary mirror optical axis.
