  • Specifications
To provide customers with more options, Askar has launched the new FMA180 pro. FMA180 pro is similar to the FMA180 in optical design. The objective lens features a sextuplet air-spaced APO design and includes two pieces of ED (extra-low dispersion) glass, providing excellent correction of chromatic aberration. In addition to visual observations, the FMA180 pro is specially optimized for astrophotography. Compared to FMA180, FMA180 pro adds a finder base and a 360° rotator. What' s more, the focuser is designed as internal focusing which promotes its stability and ensures its performance in use as a delicate, high-quality, and compact astrograph.

FMA180 pro adopts a sextuplet air-spaced APO design with three lenses in front and three in the rear, two of which are ED glasses, providing excellent correction of chromatic aberration.

It still has a 44mm aperture, 180mm focal length, and 4.5 focal ratios. It supports a 44mm full-frame image circle.
