data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1299_55b5f5-07\">Intro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I first got into astrophotography many years ago, but started taking it more seriously after buying a Sky-Watcher Evostar 80ED DS Pro alongside an ASI1600 mono camera and filters. I used that setup extensively, but the arrival of a new baby meant astrophotography had to take a back seat, and I eventually sold most of my kit with the intention of returning to the hobby later. Less than a year on, I found myself missing it more than expected and decided to come back, this time with a simpler, lower hassle imaging setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That plan initially stalled after I purchased a William Optics Zenithstar 73 II APO with reducer flattener, but persistent issues with streaked stars in the corners, traced back to backfocus sensitivity, ultimately led me to return the telescope. This experience played a key role in what I was looking for next, and led me to the Askar FRA400 f\/5.6 quintuplet APO astrograph, reviewed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

APO Astrograph. This telescope was appealing for three main reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">It&#8217;s a 400mm f5.6 short-tube refractor. These are robust and relatively easy to use. The downside is that they\u2019re not really suitable for planetary imaging, but you can\u2019t have it all.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">It&#8217;s a Petzval design, which means that you don&#8217;t need to worry about getting the backfocus right. So long as your image is in focus, the backfocus will be perfect. Note: there&#8217;s an optional reducer for this telescope, but if you use that then you <em>do<\/em> need to get the backfocus right.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">The price-point of \u00a3962 seemed very reasonable for what was on offer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>I pushed the button and went for it. I also bought a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/review-zwo-asi2600mc-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ZWO ASI 2600MC PRO USB 3.0 Cooled Colour Camera<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/dualband-filter-shootout-l-extreme-vs-l-ultimate-vs-colour-magic-6nm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Optolong L-eXtreme<\/a> filter to allow for narrowband imaging. My choice of OSC camera was to keep with my central aim of making data acquisition as simple as possible. I live in the centre of Bristol, and the light pollution is terrible, but <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/osc-vs-mono-from-a-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OSC still works well<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I decided to forego the optional&nbsp;Askar f\/3.9 Full Frame Reducer for FRA400\/5.6. This was for four reasons. 1) The L-eXtreme isn\u2019t as effective with very fast systems; 2) 400mm is good to frame the targets I\u2019m most interested in; 3); with the reducer I\u2019d need to get the backfocus spot-on, and I\u2019d had enough of that with the WO ZS73; 4) I\u2019d save \u00a3269<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0{margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-md, 2rem);}.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-none, 0rem );max-width:900px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0{border-top-right-radius:50px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;overflow:clip;isolation:isolate;}.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{border-top-right-radius:50px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 ,.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 h1,.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 h2,.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 h3,.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 h4,.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 h5,.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 h6{color:#ffffff;}.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep{height:100px;}.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep svg{width:100%;}.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep svg{fill:#ffffff!important;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep{height:px;}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep svg{width:%;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep{height:px;}.kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 .kt-row-layout-bottom-sep svg{width:%;}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id1299_bc833f-f0 alignnone has-eighty-black-background-color kt-row-has-bg wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column1299_9fb8d3-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column1299_9fb8d3-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column1299_9fb8d3-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column1299_9fb8d3-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column1299_9fb8d3-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column1299_9fb8d3-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column1299_9fb8d3-7e{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column1299_9fb8d3-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column1299_9fb8d3-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column1299_9fb8d3-7e\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1299_45bd45-2a, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1299_45bd45-2a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1299_45bd45-2a\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1299_45bd45-2a mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1299_45bd45-2a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1299_45bd45-2a\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1299_45bd45-2a img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1299_45bd45-2a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1299_45bd45-2a\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 id=\"problems-and-solutions\" class=\"kt-adv-heading1299_45bd45-2a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1299_45bd45-2a\">Problems and solutions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Build quality on the whole is good. It only takes a moment to realise it&#8217;s in a different league to the 80ED DS-Pro. However, I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s not quite up there with the WO ZS73. The dew shield is a little loose and on the cusp of sliding down under its own weight when the telescope is pointing straight up. I solved this by putting an elastic band on the main tube, just behind the dew shield \u2013 a DIY fix but works just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aafc70b4603b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aafc70b4603b\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"880\" height=\"586\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/001-November-03-2021-Askar-FRA400-DSC_2746-PULLEN.jpg?resize=880%2C586&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Askar FRA400 dew shield, with rubber band preventing it from sliding back\" class=\"wp-image-1315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/001-November-03-2021-Askar-FRA400-DSC_2746-PULLEN.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/001-November-03-2021-Askar-FRA400-DSC_2746-PULLEN.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/001-November-03-2021-Askar-FRA400-DSC_2746-PULLEN.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/001-November-03-2021-Askar-FRA400-DSC_2746-PULLEN.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/001-November-03-2021-Askar-FRA400-DSC_2746-PULLEN.jpg?resize=1536%2C1022&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/001-November-03-2021-Askar-FRA400-DSC_2746-PULLEN.jpg?resize=500%2C333&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/001-November-03-2021-Askar-FRA400-DSC_2746-PULLEN.jpg?resize=800%2C532&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/001-November-03-2021-Askar-FRA400-DSC_2746-PULLEN.jpg?resize=1280%2C852&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/001-November-03-2021-Askar-FRA400-DSC_2746-PULLEN.jpg?resize=1920%2C1278&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/001-November-03-2021-Askar-FRA400-DSC_2746-PULLEN.jpg?resize=507%2C338&amp;ssl=1 507w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanastrophotography.com\/staging\/7355\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/001-November-03-2021-Askar-FRA400-DSC_2746-PULLEN.jpg?w=1760&amp;ssl=1 1760w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An elastic band stops the dew shield from sliding down.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lens cap also feels a bit loose, but has never fallen off.

Askar say this is threaded for 48mm filters \u2013 ideal for my&nbsp;L-eXtreme, or so I thought. Alas, it&#8217;s designed in such a way that it&#8217;s impossible to physically get the filter in there. Very odd. Askar have since released FRA500 and FRA600 versions, which seem to have a redesigned conical adapter that fixes this problem. In the end I bought a&nbsp;ZWO 2\u2033 Filter Drawer with M48 \/ M42 Connections.

with it. It&#8217;s compact and light \u2014 I can carry the OTA with all attached accessories in one hand. It&#8217;s a very forgiving instrument to use, and makes data acquisition relatively easy. It also offers impressive image quality for under \u00a31000. It pairs really well with a ZWO ASI 2600MC PRO camera (plus L-eXtreme filter). In short, it&#8217;s a lot of fun. I give it a strong recommendation, especially for someone that&#8217;s dipped their toe into astrophotography with a Sky-Watcher 80ED or similar and now wants to take things to the next level.<br><br>Downsides? Well, there are the niggles I&#8217;ve mentioned already, but there are workarounds to those. Thinking longer-term, the small aperture of 72mm is starting to feel a little restrictive. And I originally thought that after I used the &#8216;scope for a year or so I&#8217;d buy the reducer to bring the focal length of 400mm down to 280mm, almost making it like a new instrument. However, I&#8217;m starting to want <em>longer<\/em> focal length, not shorter. The Askar FRA400 has still got plenty of life left in it for me, but I suspect in a year or so I&#8217;ll be looking for something bigger. Always the way with this hobby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aafc70b49764&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aafc70b49764\"
