Product Details

The William Optics Megrez 120 uses a very high quality premium 120mm f/7.5 FPL 53 doublet lens that has been thoroughly tested and evaluated. The scope will prove to be very versatile both visually and for astro imagers with its 900mm focal length bringing in range lots of targets unsuitable for imaging with shorter focal length scopes. It will deliver crisp, sharp, and color-pure images, even at magnifications upwards of 200x.
