William Optics RedCat 51 APO

If you are interested in both nature photography and (deep-sky) astro photography, a William Optics RedCat 51 is for you. The RedCat’s 51mm objective lens is made of top quality FPL-53 and FPL-51 glass (synthetic fluorite) that creates a flat frame image from corner to corner, even when the full circle of image is used with a full-frame camera. The built-in helical focusing device enables focusing in seconds, which is ideal for shooting wildlife, birds and other animals.
The 250mm focal length and fast f/4.9 allow short exposure times for astrophotography. The working distance of up to 59.70mm is ideal for using astrocameras and DSLR/SLR cameras. The 2″ thread in the T-ring also allows you to use a filter. The included Bahtinov mask helps focus astrophotographic objects and is integrated into the lens cap.
