Description

This is first light for my William Optics RedCat51. I decided to upgrade from the AT66ED and Canon 75-300mm zoom lens to what is probably the closest thing on the market to a dedicated astrophotography telephoto camera lens. This is what the RedCat51 is to me: a high-end telephoto lens with none of the usual bell and whistles that would come with, let's say, a Canon 300mm f/4 lens. Yes, I know it's a Apochromatic refractor but the focal length is on par with a lot of DSLR telephoto lens.
