Corporate In a relatively short time, William Optics has established itself and its products as one of the world leaders in short-tube, highly-portable refractors, and has achieved quality recognition for many accessories such as the well celebrated WO Diagonals.
We plan to keep producing fine instruments both for the entry-level and the top-end segments. In the coming year, you will have many pleasant surprises: on top of a whole new range of larger Apochromatic telescopes, we will begin marketing new accessories and binoculars for all pockets.
The Zenithstar 73 III APO is an apochromatic refractor telescope that impresses with excellent color correction and sharpness. Using high-quality optics, chromatic aberrations are effectively minimized, so you get clear, high-contrast, true-color images.
