Step up your astrophotography game with the William Optics RedCat 91, an advanced apochromatic refractor tailored for full-frame and medium-format cameras. This latest addition to the RedCat series combines portability with superior optical performance, making it a versatile tool for capturing breathtaking detail in deep-sky objects.

Highlights:

  • Petzval Design, No Backfocus Hassles: The 5-element Petzval design eliminates the need for backfocus adjustments, providing sharp, edge-to-edge images with pinpoint stars—ideal for wide-field and detailed astrophotography alike.
  • Full-Frame & Medium-Format Ready, No Extra Flattener Needed: With a large 50mm image circle, the RedCat 91 is perfect for both full-frame and medium-format cameras. Its advanced optics achieve flat-field images without requiring an additional flattener, giving astrophotographers the freedom to capture expansive views with unparalleled clarity.
  • Fast f/4.9 Focal Ratio: The RedCat 91’s fast f/4.9 focal ratio is designed for bright, vivid captures of galaxies, nebulae, and beyond, ensuring excellent light-gathering power and sharp detail even on faint celestial objects.
  • Seamless WIFD Focusing: Equipped with William Optics’ WIFD focuser, the RedCat 91 provides precise, stable focusing without additional adjustments, enhancing the ease of use for both seasoned astrophotographers and beginners.

The RedCat 91 blends the trusted RedCat heritage with William Optics’ innovative design, making it the ultimate choice for those ready to elevate their night-sky explorations.

Note:

Astrophotography Only
This telescope is specifically designed for astrophotography, and its optical design does not support visual observation.

Tension screw
When using the telescope with the motor, please ensure that the tension screw is not over-tightened. Over-tightening the tension screw may cause damage to the focuser.
Think of it like driving a car and pressing the gas pedal while also pressing the brake simultaneously. Just as this action could harm your car’s systems, over-tightening the tension screw could compromise the functionality of your telescope’s focuser.
