🍂 Fall 2026 — What’s New at Khan Scope

Labour Day is the turn of the season for observers. From here on the nights get longer, the air gets steadier, and the Milky Way is still overhead in the early evening. A lot has landed in the store over the past two weeks, so instead of one feature, here is the full rundown of what is new and what is on sale going into fall.

Askar 111F & 131F Quadruplet Flat-Field APO Refractors
$2,099 / $2,799
131F reducer in stock • 111F reducer on order
Askar’s new F-series is here. The 111F (111 mm f/6.9) and 131F (131 mm f/7.5) are four-element, self-flattening APOs — a flat field straight out of the tube, no flattener required. Pair either with the matching 0.74x reducer ($419) for a faster, wider system. Two of each arrived this week; these will not sit long.
