Deep Sky Dad EAF Mounting Kit for Askar FMA230 Camera Lens

The ASKAR FMA230 is a triplet air-spaced APO refractor, which includes two pieces of ED (extra-low dispersion) glass, providing excellent correction of chromatic aberration. The high-quality optics are producing a flatter image with striking clarity, and it is tested to ensure that it offers high standards for astrophotography and observation.

Focusing can be quite a time consuming process even with a Bahtinov mask (especially with narrowband filters). Additionally, focus can shift with temperature change during the night. We have solved this for you with our special rods mounted autofocuser kit, which can compensate for the front movement of the lens during focusing.

The autofocusing motor rests on a special trolley, connected to the rails. This keeps the autofocuser pulley in line with the lens focusing ring and enables a balanced, compact solution.
