Either sat outside with it, or because it’s in your lounge waiting patiently for a clear night. You spend a lot of time looking at your telescopes when you’re an astrophotographer. When coupled with a DSLR this allows for an evening in a remote dark sky location without the need for any form of external power. Well within the weight limits of star trackers such as the Sky Watcher Star Adventurer, your setup will fit into any backpack. This is, as you would expect from William Optics, a high quality telescope that will inspire and delight both the new and experienced astrophotographer.īeing compact (under 25cm in length and 10cm across when packed) makes this an ideal travel companion. In a very quick review, this telescope could be summed up as a beginners dream.īut don’t be misled into thinking this is just a beginners telescope. Owing to its unique Petzval optics design, it has a flat field to the edge of the frame as standard, so no need for additional field flatteners or other complications. With a 51mm aperture and 250mm focal length this is a fast scope coming in at an impressive f/4.9. I genuinely cannot think of a better first imaging scope. One of my top recommendations for beginning astrophotography is to start with a small refractor, and the William Optics SpaceCat51 (and RedCat51) is everything you could want to get started.
