The Radian Raptor 61 refractor is a very portable, widefield f/4.5 apochromatic triplet. This is the first telescope offering from Radian Telescopes which is a new company founded by OPT to create products for astrophotographers. In the video below I take a quick look at the telescope itself, install the optional electronic focuser and talk about the back focus requirement.
I’ll be discussing this telescope more in the future as I have an opportunity to image with it. So far I’m impressed with its overall design, construction and appearance. The scope features an apochromatic triplet optical design with premium glass and multi-coatings. More specifications are listed below…

My story began more than 40 years ago looking up at the Moon with a small collapsible telescope my Father had. Encouraged by my parents, who bought me my very own telescope, a 4.5″ reflector, I began to explore the night sky from my family home backyard. Today I do astrophotography from my home in Kitchener, Ontario and also with remote telescopes located in New Mexico and Australia. Some of my images have won awards and have been featured online and in magazines.
