William Optics Ultra Cat 76 WIFD 76mm f/4.8 Apochromatic Refractor Telescope (OTA)

Designed for astrophotography, the Ultra Cat 76 WIFD 76mm f/4.8 Apochromatic Refractor Telescope from William Optics uses an unorthodox design for supporting heavy cameras and delivers a wide field with a fast focal ratio plus a Petzval lens for beautiful images. The WIFD (William Optic Internal Focus Design) places the 10:1 rack-and-pinion focuser in the center of the optical tube, eliminating the tilt and vignetting that can occur from heavy cameras on traditional rear-mounted focusers. The five-element Petzval-style lens yields a sharp image with no need for a flattener, and the dust cover has a built-in Bahtinov mask for tack-sharp star images. This optical tube assembly requires a mount and a tripod for use.
