    Wo patented design


    The Cat 91 holds three unique patents, ensuring easy and perfect focusing along with precise coaxial image quality, preventing draw tube tilt issues caused by optical misalignment.

    The WIFD focusing Design relocates the focuser to the center of the telescope, addresses the issue of tube tilt caused by the weight of accessories and cameras.
