Description
The William Optics RedCat 71 APO 350 is an astrograph that stands out among its competitors due to its exceptional field correction and superior control of chromatic aberrations, making it a top choice for professional use.
At the core of this telescope lies the four-element Petzval APO-ED optics. The low-dispersion lens is crafted from synthetic fluorite, an incredibly precise optical material. Renowned Japanese company Ohara produces this material, known as FPL-53, which not only boasts a high Abbe number but also offers greater chemical stability compared to natural crystalline fluorite.
What sets this astrograph apart is not just the quality of its materials but also its technologically advanced optical system design. Thanks to patented solutions by Williams Optics, this instrument provides a perfectly flat field without requiring additional equalizers.
The telescope's tube is securely mounted on precision-made clamps, featuring a Vixen socket for attaching a finder or guider, as well as a Vixen/Arca-Swiss foot.
