The Askar 80ED is a high-performance two element refractor telescope designed for astronomical observation and astrophotography. It boasts an 80mm aperture and a 560mm focal length, yielding a focal ratio of f/7. This configuration offers a balance between wide-field views and moderate magnification, making it versatile for various celestial observations.

The optical system of the Askar 80ED incorporates a two-element lens design, combining one element of extra-low dispersion (ED) glass with one element of standard achromatic glass. This combination effectively minimizes chromatic aberration, ensuring that different wavelengths of light converge at the same focal point. The ED glass element, known for its low dispersion properties, reduces color fringing, while the achromatic element corrects for residual chromatic errors, resulting in sharp and high-contrast images.
