We purchased this ASA 12N300/1,140 Newton astrograph f/3.9 (with corrector f/3.61) used in January 2024.

It is equipped with the AAF3 auto focuser from ASA, a 3 inch Wynne corrector (backfocus: 58.05mm) with a reduction factor of 0.95 and the following camera adapters:

a) Camera adapter for e.g. ASI6200 or other cameras with M54 internal thread

b) Camera adapter for DSLR Nikon F bayonet (46.5 mm flange focal distance)

c) Camera adapter for DSLR Canon EF bayonet (44.5 mm flange focal distance)

If you want to use the 12" ASA with a different camera, please contact Wolfgang Promper at ASA and ask which adapter is necessary for your camera.
