Similar to illustration: delivery without finder scope

The large GT153 triplet apochromat for full-frame cameras: FPL-53 glass for high colour correction, crisp images and, thanks to the relatively large aperture, excellent resolution – a dream for astrophotographers! To achieve this performance, each lens is tested with a Zygo interferometer and then mounted in the precision CNC-milled lens mount. Faulty lens mounts often undermine the potential performance of the lenses in cheap refractors. It is worth investing in the excellent finish from William Optics!

The 3.5" Feather Touch focuser meets the high demands of discerning astrophotographers: smooth focusing, no slipping or image shift, 360° rotatable and, of course, counterbalanced.

The scope includes a Bahtinov mask specially developed by William Optics for optimal focusing. Also included is the 3" Rotolock, which allows any accessories to be clamped securely and centred.

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.
