The new William Optics “Mini Cat” is here – small but powerful!
September 18 2024, Jan Ströher
The new, ultra-compact MiniCat Astrograph from William Optics is a high-quality photographic machine, consisting of 6 lenses in 2 groups with integrated focuser design (WIFD). The fast focal ratio of f/3.5 allows very short exposure times with the highest image quality and correction – as you would expect from all apochromatic refractors from William Optics. The field of view illuminated by the MiniCat for astrophotography corresponds to that of full-frame cameras.
William Optics MiniCat 51/178 OTA
Due to the very short tube length with the low weight of only 1.67 kg, the MiniCat is a perfect apochromat for traveling and for small photo mounts, such as the iOptron SkyGuider.The Cat series from William Optics has been very popular for many years and rightly so. They are very handy optics for nature and astrophotography. The heart is the optics with Petzval design: Four lenses in three elements ensure a color-corrected and, above all, flat image field. An external flattener is no longer necessary!
The latest “baby” is no exception: With the MiniCat 51 you not only get impressive optical performance, but you can also enjoy the beautiful design and finish from William Optics!

The new ZWO AM5 N
July 3 2024, Jan Ströher
ZWO AM5 N – the latest generation of the proven AM5 Harmonic Equatorial mount carries telescopes up to 13kg without counterweight and even up to 20kg with counterweight (counterweight and counterweight rod are optionally available). The compact and very light mount, weighing only 5.5 kg, can be used in equatorial mode for astrophotography and in azimuthal mode for observation.
A hand controller and the App for controlling the mount are included in the scope of delivery. Thanks to the built-in WiFi cables are no longer necessary!
Another new feature of this version 2 is that the App now also supports Bluetooth and the dual dovetail clamp has a DC connection, as well as an USB-C port. This means that the cables no longer get tangled up so easily. The AM5 N has a 3/8″ internal thread on its base, so it can be attached directly to suitable photo tripods. GoTo, Live Preview and many other features can now be controlled via smartphone or tablet. This makes the AM5 N ideal for the use in combination with the ZWO ASI Air!
