The William Optics RedCat refractor continues to be immensely popular, but if you'd like more aperture, check out the 91 mm f/4.9 RedCat! This beautifully designed Advanced Petzval astrograph sports five (5!) optical elements, 3 of which are made with Super ED glass for amazing image quality. This optical design produces a flat image plane on its own, with an image circle of 50 mm, without the need for a flattener. With an image circle this big, the RedCat 91 is compatible with full frame or APS-C sensors. The central star point RMS radius is about 1.3um, with corners at 2.1um for pinpoint sharpness across the frame.
The William Optics Cat91 comes with a calibrated helical focuser. The lockable helical focuser has a large surface area that makes it easy to focus, even with gloves. Its precision gear ring makes it more precise than most camera lenses. Behind the focuser is a camera angle rotator with tension knob and a tilt adapter. Adapters include both M48 & M54.
The RedCat 91 comes complete with a saddle handlebar on top. This handle accepts accessories such as a finder or guide scope but is raised above the focuser enough to serve as a carry handle. A pair of super sturdy mounting rings are also included and attach to an Arca Swiss/Vixen style plate, making it easy to connect the Cat91 to a telescope mount or heavy-duty camera tripod.
When you're not using your telescope, you can store it in the included soft carry bag!
