The 500mm-focal-length refractor has an aperture size of 90mm (f/5.6), so Askar FRA500 can better fit into the scenarios of deep-sky imaging than Askar FRA400. Besides, its more lightweight and compact than Askar FRA600, which makes it a great choice for out-door observation or astrophotography.

Customer Reviews
I took the time to write this review as I'm truly impressed with Edisla and would like to encourage them to continue offering astro niche products in India. Most importantly, they maintain everything in stock, unlike other sellers that often deal with back orders. I had a bitter experience with a different seller who took my money and never fulfilled the order for at least a year now.
However, my recent purchase of the Askar FRA 500, a specialized astro photography product, from this Indian seller has left me completely satisfied. They are the sole source for such gear in India, offering competitive prices, exceptional packaging, and prime delivery to Mumbai in just five days. I am fully satisfied with my purchase and will definitely be a repeat customer. Kudos to this seller for making astro photography more accessible and enjoyable in India!
