Product description

An anniversary you can see

The limited edition is restricted to just 30 units worldwide and features a specially crafted anniversary finish, including an engraved emblem and individual serial number. Each device is therefore not just a tool, but a collector's item with lasting value.

Optical excellence without compromise

  • 5-element Petzval design for a perfectly corrected, flat image field – without the need for an additional flattener.

  • Super ED glass, two ED elements and one lanthanum element for maximum colour fidelity and sharpness.

  • 131 mm aperture, 648 mm focal length, f/4.9 – ideal for deep sky astrophotography with high light intensity.

  • WIFD 60 mm R&P Focuser, EAF-compatible, with 0–20 mm Sensor Tilt Xterminator Rotator for perfect adjustment.

  • Extensive camera compatibility from Canon EF/RF to Nikon F/Z to Sony E, Fuji X and MFT.

  • Individual Numbering: Each unit is uniquely serialized (01–30).

Weighing just under 10 kg and measuring 650–785 mm in length, the Ultra-Cat 131 is remarkably portable for its performance class. Its high-quality mechanics, precise rotation and focus solution, and Losmandy rail make it a reliable partner for demanding sessions – whether in the garden or under dark mountain skies.

A telescope for visionaries

The Ultra-Cat 131 is more than just an anniversary product. It is a statement: for quality, for passion, for looking to the future of astrophotography. Anyone who owns one of the 30 units has a piece of William Optics history in their hands – and an instrument that can inspire generations.
