With an aperture of 160 mm and a focal length of 1120 mm, this triplet lens delivers high-contrast, color-error-free images - ideal for detail-rich deep-sky photography and planetary observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the large opening, the telescope remains compact. Retracted, the tube is only 883 mm long, making transport and mounting easier. The CNC-machined housing has a robust finish and integrated extensions, allowing you to flexibly switch between photography and visual observation, even with a binoviewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 3.5\u2033 rack-and-pinion focuser with 1:10 reduction allows extremely precise focusing, even with heavy cameras or filter wheels. With 100mm setting range, scale and anti-reflection coating, it is suitable for the most demanding setups. The 360\u00b0 rotator with sturdy locking screw makes it easy to find and secure the correct framing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the wide Losmandy rail and sturdy tube rings, you mount the AP 160\/1120 stably on heavy mounts such as the Sky-Watcher EQ8-R or EQ8-RH. The integrated slot handle provides additional options for attaching accessories such as a guidescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Application<\/strong><br>The Askar AP 160\/1120 Triplet OTA is intended for advanced users who want to achieve maximum image quality. It is suitable for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High-resolution astrophotography of nebulae and galaxies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Planetary observation with razor-sharp
