Startravel Refractors

These compact and economical 'scopes are great for deep sky work with the Mintron, Watec and Atik cameras and of course visually. Our focal reducer can be added (with short or long adaptors) to give very fast F ratios and wide fields of view. An infra-red block filter is beneficial to image sharpness.
