Askar 80ED - versatile ED 80\/560 telescope for deep-sky and visual observation<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Visit Askar 80ED<\/strong> is a telescope with a diameter of 80 mm and a focal length of 560 mm.
\n(f\/7<\/strong>), designed for amateur astronomers who want a lightweight, easy-to-use instrument.
\nand capable of both visual and serious deep-sky astrophoto.
\nWith its ED doublet<\/strong>, It offers excellent chromatic control, ideal for
\nenjoy nebulae, open clusters and large galaxies without the hassle.<\/p>\n

An 80ED designed for the nomadic astronomer<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The 80ED offers an excellent compromise between aperture, weight and size:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 80 mm opening<\/strong> to find out more about the Moon, the planets and the deep sky.<\/li>\n
  • Focal length 560 mm (f\/7)<\/strong> for a comfortable field of view, perfect with modern color cameras.<\/li>\n
  • Compact tube<\/strong>\u00a0Approximately 404 mm with mist guard retracted and 505 mm extended.<\/li>\n
  • OTA weight 1.7 kg<\/strong> only, approx. 2 kg with collars and dovetail.<\/li>\n
  • Flow 2\u2033<\/strong> rear for diagonals, bends, correctors and wide-field accessories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This featherweight design allows the bezel to be mounted on very compact frames. It fits easily into a
    \ntravel setup or a semi-fixed station, while leaving plenty of room for the camera, finder-guide and
    \nthe usual small accessories.<\/p>\n

    80 mm ED doublet optics for a clean, high-contrast field of view<\/h3>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The aim of 80ED is to ED doublet<\/strong>\u00a0a low-dispersion glass lens combined with
    \nan achromatic lens. This type of design is very popular with hobbyists, as it effectively limits
    \ncolorful bangs on the stars and high-contrast edges. The result is fine, well-shaped stars
    \nThis is a major asset for both imaging and high-magnification observation.<\/p>\n

    With its report f\/7<\/strong>, the telescope remains fast enough for astrophotography without becoming
    \ntoo demanding on collimation or tracking. It's a very healthy choice for a first tube dedicated to the
    \ndeep sky or as a complementary telescope to a larger-diameter instrument.<\/p>\n

    Mechanical design and ergonomics<\/h3>\n

    The 80ED comes with all the essentials for a quick trip under the sky:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Retractable mist guard<\/strong> to limit fogging and extraneous light, while keeping the tube compact for transport.<\/li>\n
    • Necklaces and dovetails<\/strong> (included in the manufacturer's gross weight), ready to be mounted on most common equatorial frames.<\/li>\n
    • 2\u2033 rear output<\/strong>, This makes it easy to use wide-field eyepieces, curved eyepieces or a complete photographic optical train.<\/li>\n
    • Documentation<\/strong>\u00a0The scope is supplied with a manual detailing diagrams and adjustment points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Diagrams supplied by the manufacturer (dimensional diagrams, positions of locking screws, etc.),
      \noptical path, speckle and longitudinal aberration diagrams) show a telescope designed
      \nwhich supports modern sensors very well.<\/p>\n

      Astrophotography with the 80ED: wide field and dedicated accessories<\/h3>\n

      80ED is particularly interesting for\u2019wide-field astrophoto<\/strong>. Numerous images
      \nreference models made with this bezel feature iconic objects such as :<\/p>\n

        \n
      • NGC 6960<\/strong> (part of the Swan Veil),<\/li>\n
      • NGC 7000<\/strong> (North America Nebula),<\/li>\n
      • NGC 6888<\/strong> (Crescent Nebula),<\/li>\n
      • M8<\/strong> (Lagoon Nebula),<\/li>\n
      • M16<\/strong> (the \u00abPillars of Creation\u00bb),<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        NGC 6888 | Hang | ASKAR 80ED + 0.7x Reducer + ZWO ASI 2600MM Pro<\/strong><\/p>\n

        These images are obtained with cooled large sensor cameras and dedicated accessories.
        \nas a 1.0x corrector<\/strong> (flattener) or a reducer 0.7x<\/strong>, specifically designed for
        \nthe 80ED. They flatten the field and, with the reducer, increase speed and useful field,
        \nwhich is ideal for large nebulae with low surface brightness.<\/p>\n

        Whether with a ASI2600MC \/ QHY268C<\/strong> or a monochrome camera and filters,
        \nthe scope holds up very well: wide field, well-corrected stars and a setup that remains light on the frame.<\/p>\n

        For what kind of amateur astronomer?<\/h3>\n

        The 80ED is particularly suitable for :<\/p>\n

          \n
        • For the enthusiast who wants to a versatile first instrument<\/strong> to observe and start imaging.<\/li>\n
        • To the astrophotographer a lightweight tube<\/strong> to put on a small nomadic frame.<\/li>\n
        • For those who already own a large diameter (Newton, Dobson, SC) and wish to a complementary bezel<\/strong> for wide fields and photography.<\/li>\n
        • For users who want a easy-to-balance setup<\/strong>, easy to transport and quick to warm up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Thanks to its modest, but well exploited, aperture, the 80ED can scan large fields
          \nin the Cygnus, the summer Milky Way or the Orion region, while remaining at home on the Moon
          \nand planets with suitable eyepieces.<\/p>\n
