0.8x reducer for Askar 185 APO - Enlarge your view of the sky

The 0.8x reducer is a high-quality accessory specially designed for the Askar 185 APO. By reducing the focal ratio from f/7 to f/5.6, it provides a wider field of view and faster exposure times, ideal for capturing large areas of nebulae, star clusters and other fast, diffuse celestial objects.
