With an aperture of 103 mm and a focal length of 700 mm (f\/6.8), this telescope delivers bright images with high contrast and fine detail. The triplet lens with ED glass effectively corrects color errors, capturing stars dot-like and nebulae sharply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to its sophisticated design, this telescope can be used both photographically and visually. The integrated tube extension makes it easy to switch between accessories such as prisms or a binocular mount. For mounting, the OTA features a Vixen-style dovetail of 290 mm, making balancing on virtually any mount easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mechanical finish is of a high standard: the stable 3.3\u2033 rack &amp; pinion focuser with 1:10 fine adjustment can carry heavy cameras with ease. A 360\u00b0 rotating focuser with scale allows precise framing of shots. CNC-machined construction with internal anti-reflection coating minimizes stray light, resulting in high-contrast images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With two finder shoes, lightweight tube rings and an ergonomic handle, the Askar APO 103\/700 is not only versatile but practical to use. Thanks to the included transport bag, you can safely take this OTA to any observing location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Application<\/strong><br>The Askar APO 103\/700 Triplet OTA is ideal for advanced astrophotographers who want to capture detailed deep-sky shots as well as sharp planetary images. With its aperture and optical quality, this is a versatile refractor that performs excellently in nebulae, galaxies and clusters. Solar observation always requires an appropriate filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Type: Refractor,
