The Askar V is a unique type of telescope that uses a customizable and adaptable design, consisting of two different objective lenses. This triplet APO refractor comes with interchangeable 60mm and 80mm lenses, along with a reducer, flattener and extender, giving users the flexibility to adjust the focal length to suit their individual needs. Both lenses have a triplet APO configuration, and two of them are made from ED glass, which helps eliminate chromatic aberration and produces clearer images. The Askar V has a simple yet powerful design, with an attractive ivory white and silver color scheme that showcases its quality and craftsmanship.
