Askar 0.74× Reducer for 111F Refractor The Askar 0.74× reducer, specially optimized for the Askar 111F, is designed to unlock a broader and more efficient deep-sky astrophotography experience. The 0.74× reducer brings the Askar 111F's focal ratio down to F5.1, delivering a faster optical system while incorporating built-in field-flattening correction to effectively eliminate field curvature - ensuring sharp and clear stars from the center to the very edges of the frame. The shorter focal ratio provides a wider field of view and shorter exposure times, making it particularly well-suited for capturing expansive nebulae, star clusters, and faint or fast-moving celestial objects. The Askar 111F 0.74× Reducer features a triplet optical design and supports a 44mm full-frame image circle. Its back focus is 55mm (measured from the M48 thread), and both ends feature M68×1 threads for optimal adaptability and stability. The 111F photographic extension tube includes M54×0.75 and M48×0.75 adapters, allowing for direct and convenient connection to the 111F 0.74× reducer. The reducer’s rear adapter ring features a built-in M48×0.75 standard 2-inch filter thread, enabling direct installation of various astronomical filters to accommodate different imaging needs. The entire reducer is precision CNC-machined and comes with front and rear metal threaded caps to protect the optics from dust when not in use.
