Product description

More about the series Cat...

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.

Our expert comment:

The RedCat 51 is probably one of William Optics’ most loved apochromats and not without good reason. It delivers perfect astrophotos of deep-sky objects and is easily transportable due to its small size.

(Jan Ströher)
