Askar V Modular APO Telescope - Review

The ASKAR V is a Modular APO Refractor Telescope with two interchangeable objective (primary) lenses and 3 interchangeable rear cells (reducer, flattener, extender). It offers 6 different focal lengths ranging from 270mm to 600mm, enabling you to frame a range of different apparent sized targets efficiently with a single telescope camera. In this review I explore the build quality, features and performance of this interesting product and present results and conclusions.

Thanks to Zoltan at 365Astronomy who invited me to review this product.
