Askar SQA55 55mm f/4.8 Petzval Astrograph High-Quality Optics: Quintuplet Design with SD and ED Glass Elements
This Askar SQA55 55mm f/4.8 Petzval Astrograph features a quintuplet optical system that incorporates one SD glass element and one ED glass element. These elements work together to deliver a flat field with exceptional colour correction, resulting in sharp, accurate images across the frame.
Askar SQA55 55mm f/4.8 Petzval Astrograph Precise Star PSF and Flat Field Imaging
With an on-axis star PSF (Point Spread Function) of 2.5μm and 4μm in the corners, the Askar SQA55mm ensures pinpoint stars and high-resolution images. The flat field design eliminates the need for a field flattener, allowing you to capture stunning astrophotography images without distortion.
Askar SQA55 55mm f/4.8 Petzval Astrograph No Need for Back Focus Calculation
Thanks to the Petzval lens structure, there's no need for complicated back focus calculations. Simply position your camera sensor between 50mm and 60mm from the rear M48 connection thread to achieve optimal performance for full-frame cameras.
