If you wish to take great astro-images with a high quality APO refractor, this William Optics ZenithStar 81 APO Telescope is a great way to obtain your imaging goals. Its FPL-53 glass air-spaced doublet lens design provides images with extreme sharpness, clear details, with APO grade color correction.

Includes a dual-spec Mounting Base (Vixen & Arca Swiss), 2.5" Dual-speed Rack and Pinion Focuser, CNC Carry Handle (with easy mount design for the optional guiding scope), clamshell type Mounting Rings for telescope, and the new innovative Bahtinov Mask cover. And this gem of a telescope is relatively small and easy to store or transport.

Introducing a first innovative feature in the industry: Now this ZenithStar 81 APO Telescope from William Optics comes standard with a dust cover that has a built-in, clear Bahtinov Mask for perfect focusing every time. Simply remove the flat front cover plate, leaving the dust cover cuff in place on the telescope. Point the telescope at a bright star, and focus carefully. When the bright central diffraction spike looks exactly centered between the other two spikes forming an "X", then your telescope is in exact focus for stars. Remove the dust cover cuff carefully from the objective end of the telescope, and you are ready to image.
