The William Optics Gran Turismo 71 APO Refractor is a beautifully crafted 71 mm triplet refractor telescope designed for ultimate portability and high-performance astrophotography. It incorporates an FPL-53 air-spaced triplet lens system that delivers extremely sharp images with outstanding color correction.
