William Optics ZenithStar 61 mm APO Refractor - Gold

The ZenithStar 61 uses FPL-53 glass to produce clear, sharp images for visual work, astrophotography or wildlife photography when working in conjunction with any DSLR. The FPL-53 glass features a partial dispersion that is so close to pure fluorite, which has the highest partial dispersion of any material at around 95 V, that it has been referred to as synthetic fluorite.

The William Optics ZenithStar 61 produces excellent optical performance in an extremely portable package. The portability of the ZenithStar 61 APO telescope makes it a must have astrophotography tool to take on the go.

This William Optics 61mm Zenithstar Refractor comes with two fantastic accessories! When you purchase this OTA, you also get the William Optics Cat Series handle bar, a Bahtinov mask and a 210mm dovetail plate, each anodized to match the gold color accents on the telescope.

About the Z61 Cat Series Handle Bar

When paired with the included Z61 mounting rings, this Vixen style handle bar is a great way to carry your light weight refractor around. It also accepts Vixen style dovetails for guide scopes and guide rings. William Optics 50mm guiding ring and the WO 50mm Uniguide guide scope (both not included) are compatible with the handle.

About the 210 mm Dovetail Plate

The William Optics DSD 210mm (8.27") dovetail plate has both a Vixen and Arca Swiss size at each end of the plate. The plate has two 1/4-20 threaded holes. The dovetail plate is the perfect accessory to help you mount your Z61 telescope for imaging sessions and visual observations.
