Description
From the high-end Petzval lens on the optical tube assembly to the precise strain-wave gearing of the mount, the William Optics Cat 71 WIFD f/4.9 Apochromatic Telescope with ZWO AM5N Mount Kit from will help you capture brilliant images of the night sky. The telescope features an innovative center-of-tube focus mechanism and creates an image circle large enough for full-frame camera sensors, while the sturdy, compact mount effortlessly moves the scope to track your subject throughout the exposure. This kit includes the OTA and the mount; you only need to supply a tripod.
Designed for astrophotography, the Cat 71 WIFD 71mm f/4.9 Apochromatic Refractor Telescope from William Optics uses an unorthodox design for supporting heavy cameras and delivers a wide field, a fast focal ratio, and a Petzval lens for beautiful images. The WIFD (William Optic Internal Focus Design) places the 10:1 rack-and-pinion focuser in the center of the optical tube, eliminating the tilt and vignetting that can occur from heavy cameras on traditional rear-mounted focusers. A four-element Petzval-style lens yields a sharp image with no need for a flattener and the dust cover has a built-in Bahtinov mask for tack-sharp star images. This optical tube assembly requires a mount and a tripod for use.
