I wanted to do a comparison test between the William Optics RedCat 51 (WhiteCat / SpaceCat / NightCat 51 are limited colour versions but Optically Identical) which is toted to be extremely sharp and do a test comparison against other telephoto lenses and telescopes I owned using my Nikon Z6.
Specifically I wanted to see how the RedCat 51 preformed against the EgdeHD 8" and various Nikkor Telephoto Lenses in the 200-300mm range. I tossed a few other fun lenses in there like the plastic Lomo 120mm lens, a compact 500mm Mirror Lens and a Nifty Fifty - I didn't expect great things form these lenses but I had them handy.

The RedCat is in my Beginner Astrophotography Kit Recommendation for people who are new to astrophotography but are looking for optical performance in a small telescope.
