PRE-ORDER NOW -- ARRIVING MAY 22, 2026 |
Two New Askar Flat-Field Astrographs Land May 22. Pre-Order Is Open. |
| The Askar 111F and 131F are inbound, with the first shipment arriving May 22. These are quadruplet flat-field apochromats -- a fully corrected, self-flattening optical design that gives you pinpoint stars corner to corner with no separate field flattener bolted on the back. |
| Here is the part that matters: pre-orders are filled from that first shipment, in the order they come in. Reserve now and your unit comes off the May 22 delivery. Wait, and you wait for the next one. |
|
Askar 111F -- 111mm f/6.9 Quadruplet Flat-Field APO |
| $2,099.00 CAD |
| - 111mm aperture, f/6.9, roughly 766mm focal length |
| - Four-element flat-field design -- flat, sharp stars to the edge of large sensors, no add-on flattener to buy or balance |
| - ED-glass apochromat: tight star colour, high contrast |
| - Optional matched Askar 0.74x reducer ($419 CAD) takes it to roughly f/5.1 for a faster, wider field |
| Pre-Order the Askar 111F |
|
Askar 131F -- 131mm f/7.5 Quadruplet Flat-Field APO |
| $2,799.00 CAD |
| - 131mm aperture, f/7.5, roughly 983mm focal length |
| - The bigger brother -- more aperture and reach for galaxies, globulars and smaller deep-sky targets |
| - Same quadruplet self-flattening design: flat field, no separate flattener |
| - Optional matched Askar 0.74x reducer ($419 CAD) brings it to roughly f/5.6 with a wider corrected field |
| Pre-Order the Askar 131F |
|
Add the Matched 0.74x Reducer -- $419 CAD Each |
| Each scope has its own dedicated Askar 0.74x reducer. It speeds the system up and widens the corrected field -- ideal for large nebulae and shorter total integration time. Add it to your pre-order and it ships in the same box. |
| 0.74x Reducer for the 111F | 0.74x Reducer for the 131F |
Why Pre-Order Instead of Waiting |
| - The first shipment lands May 22, and pre-orders are filled from it in order |
| - These are brand-new releases -- early stock on new Askar optics tends to move fast |
