FOR REFERENCE ONLY: Below you will find the description of the original RedCat51

From the beginning, the goal was to create the best possible design for an affordable, small, lightweight and fast Apochromatic refractor for astro photography needs.

The unique optical design includes the highest quality glass for the best possible colour correction and flat field. The result is a 51mm objective lens, in a sleek Petzval design, using Synthetic Flouride (FPL53 and FPL51) glass for a full frame flat field image.

The optical quality provides exceptional performance at a fast focal ratio of f/4.9.

The premium quality red finish and calibrated helical focuser offers high-quality appearance.

The lens tube includes a specially designed base that provides light but solid mounting options, including a reversible base plate for either Vixen-style or Arca-Swiss mounting.

The Bahtinov mask, built into the cover helps to achieve perfect optical focus.
