The Ultra-Cat 76 is a high-performance 76mm apochromatic refractor, designed for astrophotographers who demand exceptional clarity and true color accuracy.
With a 5-element advanced Petzval optical design, including super ED and lanthanum glass, and a fast f/4.8 focal ratio, this telescope delivers stunningly sharp, flat-field images across its 50mm image circle. Optimized for Full Frame, APS-C, and M4/3 sensors, it also offers compatibility with Medium Format cameras for outstanding wide-field astrophotography.
Key Features:
Advanced 5-Element Petzval Optics
Eliminates field curvature, ensuring sharp, edge-to-edge stars without additional flatteners.
50mm Large Image Circle
Fully supports Full Frame cameras, APS-C and M4/3 sensors for optimal performance. Compatible with Medium Format.
Fast f/4.8 Optics
Superior light-gathering capability, enabling deep-sky imaging with shorter exposure times.
WIFD (William’s Internal Focuser Design)
Patented internal rack-and-pinion focuser ensures stable and precise focusing.
No vignetting or balance issues — ideal for astrophotography.
