Askar 185APO is an OTA with a 185mm aperture,1295mm focal length, and f/7 native focal ratio.Adopts a triplet air-spaced APO lens design, including one piece of ED glass. - The large aperture of 185mm gives it an inherent advantage in terms of light-gathering power, resolution, brightness, and contrast, allowing the photographer to gather more light and present more details and brighter objects in the image. Along with more light coming into the astrograph, the limiting magnitude can reach 13.1. - The Askar APO series employs special optical designs and multiple lens elements to correct chromatic aberration, naturally providing higher-quality object details and color accuracy. - As a large aperture, long focal ratio telescope, the Askar 185APO was designed with portability in mind. Due to the retractable lens tube design, the shortest overall length is only 1081mm, the net weight is 14.9kg, and the gross weight is 17.2kg (including the handle, tube ring, and dovetail plate). - The rear of the focuser features a 360° high-precision big rotator, along with precise scales for convenient adjustment and saving of rotation angles, enabling precise rotation. It is also equipped with an enlarged rotator locking screw that can be easily secured even under high loads. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CP7CD8L6 | | Brand | Askar | | Compatible Devices | Eyepieces, Mounts, Cameras | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Plössl | | Field Of View | 0.33 Degrees | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 1295 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 42.56"D x 8.43"W x 10.75"H | | Item Weight | 17.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Askar | | Manufacturer Part Number | 185APO | | Mount | Equatorial Mount | | Objective Lens Diameter | 185 Millimeters | | Product Dimensions | 42.56"D x 8.43"W x 10.75"H | | Telescope Mount Description | Equatorial Mount | | Warranty Description | 1 year | | Zoom Ratio | 1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Askar - **Compatible Devices:** Eyepieces, Mounts, Cameras - **Eye Piece Lens Description:** Plössl - **Finderscope:** Reflex - **Focal Length Description:** 1295 millimeters - **Focus Type:** Manual Focus - **Item Weight:** 17.2 Kilograms - **Objective Lens Diameter:** 185 Millimeters - **Product Dimensions:** 42.56"D x 8.43"W x 10.75"H - **Telescope Mount Description:** Equatorial Mount ## Images ![Askar 185APO Telescope,185mm Aperture,1295mm Focal Length,F7,Triplet APO Design Refractor,ED Glass Refractor OTA - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618q4RdaMvL.jpg) ![Askar 185APO Telescope,185mm Aperture,1295mm Focal Length,F7,Triplet APO Design Refractor,ED Glass Refractor OTA - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QFWbZSa6L.jpg) ![Askar 185APO Telescope,185mm Aperture,1295mm Focal Length,F7,Triplet APO Design Refractor,ED Glass Refractor OTA - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5145WT4EkRL.jpg) ![Askar 185APO Telescope,185mm Aperture,1295mm Focal Length,F7,Triplet APO Design Refractor,ED Glass Refractor OTA - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nnqFnTKaL.jpg) ![Askar 185APO Telescope,185mm Aperture,1295mm Focal Length,F7,Triplet APO Design Refractor,ED Glass Refractor OTA - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oLZJVxpoL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Askar 185APO Telescope,185mm Aperture,1295mm Focal Length,F7,Triplet APO Design Refractor,ED Glass Refractor OTA - SVBONY SV226 Telescope Filter Drawer, Photographic Filters Drawer with M42-M48 Adapter, Double Magnetic Filter Holder for 1.25 and 2 Inches Filter Mounted, for Deep Sky Photography - Astromania Bahtinov Mask That Focusing for Telescope - FM140mm for a Tube Outer Diameter (OD) from 150mm-200mm - can be Mounted with The Brass Screws Inside or Outside The drawtube Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/681106837-askar-185apo-telescope-185mm-aperture-1295mm-focal-length-f7-triplet](https://www.desertcart.us/products/681106837-askar-185apo-telescope-185mm-aperture-1295mm-focal-length-f7-triplet) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
