106mm aperture, f/4.8 — a fast astrograph that pulls in detail quickly, ideal for shorter exposures on nebulae and galaxies 509mm focal length — a wide-to-medium field that frames large targets like the Andromeda Galaxy, the Pleiades, and the Cocoon Nebula Quintuplet Petzval APO optics — five-element design with a built-in field flattener, so you get pinpoint stars edge-to-edge with no separate flattener to buy Two SD (Special Dispersion) glass elements — suppresses chromatic aberration for tight, neutral, false-color-free stars Medium-format (55mm) image circle — fully covers a full-frame (44mm) sensor with room to spare for filter wheels and off-axis guiders Flexible back-focus — M48/M54/M68 adapters supporting a 48–78mm range (55mm recommended) to match most camera setups Lightweight for its class — 5.82 kg OTA (8.12 kg with tube rings and dovetail) Includes — SQA106 OTA and a padded Oxford cloth case The Askar SQA106 is a fast, travel-friendly astrograph built for one job: clean, wide-field deep-sky imaging straight out of the case. Its quintuplet Petzval design bakes the field flattener into the optics, delivering pinpoint stars across a flat medium-format image circle that fully covers a full-frame sensor — no separate flattener to buy or space. At 106mm and f/4.8, it's fast enough to pull real detail out of nebulae and galaxies in short order, with a 509mm focal length that frames large targets like the Andromeda Galaxy, the Pleiades, and the Cocoon Nebula beautifully. A built-in focuser and M48/M54/M68 back-focus flexibility make matching your camera train straightforward. At around 5.82 kg for the OTA, it's a genuine grab-and-go imaging rig for dark-sky trips — and one our team can help you pair with the right mount and camera before you buy.
