USED GEAR INFORMATION

This scope is in great condition. The optics appear clean and there are little-to-no cosmetic imperfections on the body of the telescope. This is the first generation of Red / Space cat from William optics, so it uses the helical focuser. Includes soft padded bag with fitted foam for transport.

Description

From the beginning, the goal was to create the best possible design for an affordable, small, lightweight, and fast Apochromatic refractor for astrophotography needs. The unique optical design includes the highest quality glass for the best possible color correction and flat-field. The result is a 51mm Objective lens, in a sleek Petzval design, for a full frame flat field image. The optical quality provides for exceptional performance at a fast focal ratio of f/4.9.

Riley L. ★★★★★

Picked this up used and the optics are genuinely clean — no scratches or dust I can see. The 51mm aperture pulls in enough light for crisp lunar details even in my light-polluted backyard.

Grace ★★★★★

The red body on this first-gen model looks even better in person than the product photos suggested. The optics are spotless and the focus knob turns with a satisfying smoothness that makes me feel like I got a steal on used gear.

George ★★★★★

I was a bit nervous buying used, but this scope's clean glass and that deep red finish look almost new. The 51mm aperture pulls in plenty of light for crisp lunar views, even with my modest mount.
