The largest apo from Teleskop-Service is the inexpensive entry into the
world of really big refractors. Such a telescope offers joy for a
lifetime and is an attraction in every observatory.
From the beginning, the goal was to create the best possible design for
an affordable, small, lightweight, and fast Apochromatic refactor for
astrophotography.
William offers with the REDCAT61 Astrograph a very well corrected telescope for astrophotography up to full frame format.
Aperture 61 mm / Focal length 300 mm / Focal ratio f/4.9
Petzval design with chromatic aberration free FPL53 objective (4 elements in 3 groups)
Very well corrected and illuminated image field up to full frame format - the corrector is built in - no more adapter battle necessary
Camera connection via M48 male thread (suitable adapters are available) - working distance 55 mm
360° rotation of the camera for the right display window
Focusing via internal focusing (William Internal Focus Design - WIFD) as with telephoto lenses
Tilting option for individual adjustment of the camera sensor to the telescope
Flexible dovetail bar at the base (long version), suitable for Vixen style and Arca-Swiss saddle plates, in addition with 1/4" female photo tripod thread
Nylon carrying bag and Bahtinov mask for astrophotography are included in delivery
This three-lens apochromat with FPL-53 element and STM coating delivers
color-pure, crisp images! Stars are pin sharp points, bright objects
like moon and planets show no color fringes, but a lot of details!
