The Askar 160APO comes with two optional premium accessories: a 1.0x flattener and a 0.8x reducer. Introduced here is the 1.0x flattener, which is optimized for the Askar 160APO and expands the telescope's versatility.
The 1.0x flattener does not alter the telescope's native focal ratio. When connected to the Askar 160APO, it maintains a focal ratio of f/7. The flattener corrects field curvature and coma, resulting in flatter field edges and sharper star points.
The 1.0x flattener features a triplet design and supports a 44mm full-frame image circle. The back focus from the M48 thread is the standard 55mm. The front thread is M92×1. On the camera side, it comes with M68×1, M54×0.75, and M48×0.75 adapters for easy connectivity. It also includes a built-in M48×0.75 2-inch filter thread for direct installation and use. The flattener is CNC machined, and both ends are equipped with threaded metal caps to prevent dust when not in use.
Specifications:
- Flattener Parameter: 1x
- Focal Length (after attaching to 160APO): 1120mm (≈ 44.09 inches)
- Focal Ratio (after attaching to 160APO): f/7
- Lens Design: Triplet
- Back Focus: 55mm (≈ 2.17 inches) — from the base of M48 male thread
- Weight: 0.56kg (≈ 1.23 lbs)
- Rear-end Thread Types:
- M68×1
