Askar FRA500 Demonstration

Sharpstar Optics introduces Askar FRA500 astrograph, which is the youngest among the well-known FRA- family, to our customers.
Compared with its siblings, the 500mm-focal-length refractor has an aperture size of 90mm (f/5.6), so Askar FRA500 can better fit into the scenarios of deep-sky imaging than Askar FRA400.
Besides, its more lightweight and compact than Askar FRA600, which makes it a great choice for out-door observation or astrophotography.

What an amazing piece of astrophotography equipment.

Of course I want one lol. Anodizing looks great. Exact match to the ZWO camera in the video.

I have the 400 and it is a game changer

I'm a FRA400 owner. Its a great scope.
Just asking, is the spacing important even with the 0.7x reducer?

[arthurwiegman]

How much does the telescope weigh in kilos with the cone mounted?

[liam]

Can you tell me which Diagional and eyepiece you used?

[inciwillard]

Why can you never have a person who speaks good English when you want to promote these things ...? You guys are billions, surely there must be some of you who actually speak clear, fluent english. It is always a mystery to me. The same with the google-translated User Manuals.

Good luck balancing that thing .... Just imagine using that Conical Adapter, then a Filter Wheel + Reducer + Astro Camera + Guide Scope - it will be totally unbalanced.
