William Optics RedCat Erecting Prism - 1.25" Silver Version

The William Optics RedCat Erecting Prism - 1.25" Silver Version is a specialized optical accessory designed primarily for use with RedCat telescopes. This erecting prism provides a correctly oriented image, making it ideal for terrestrial viewing and certain astronomical applications where a non-inverted image is preferred.

Specifically designed for RedCat telescopes. While it may fit other 1.25" focusers, optimal performance is achieved with RedCat models. Verify compatibility before purchase.

Optical Design

---

Features a high-quality prism system that provides image correction while maintaining excellent optical clarity. The prism design ensures that the image is both right-side-up and correctly oriented left-to-right, essential for comfortable terrestrial viewing.

Construction

---

Crafted with precision-engineered components and housed in a durable metal body with a stylish silver finish. The robust construction ensures stability and longevity, while the silver aesthetics complement the RedCat telescope design.

Compatibility:

Designed specifically for use with William Optics RedCat telescopes, ensuring optimal performance and seamless integration. The 1.25" barrel size allows it to fit standard 1.25" focusers, potentially making it usable with other telescope models, though performance may vary.

Image Orientation

Provides a fully corrected image orientation, with objects appearing right-side-up and correctly oriented left-to-right. This makes it particularly useful for terrestrial observations, nature viewing, and certain astronomical applications where a non-inverted image is beneficial.

Optical Performance

Utilizes high-quality optical glass and coatings to maintain image clarity and brightness. While the prism system may introduce a slight light loss compared to a standard diagonal, it offers the benefit of correct image orientation without compromising significantly on image quality.

Versatility

While optimized for RedCat telescopes, this erecting prism can potentially be used for both astronomical and terrestrial viewing. It's particularly useful for observing terrestrial subjects, the Moon, and other celestial objects where a correctly oriented image is preferred.

Ease of Use

Features a standard 1.25" barrel for easy insertion into the telescope's focuser or diagonal. The secure fit ensures stability during use, while allowing for easy removal or replacement when switching between different viewing setups.
