Thanks to those that replied to my mail regarding the FLT98. I think I've reached the conclusion that the standard focusser on most of the WO scopes leaves...
Hello Everybody, I noticed some decentered collimation with my FLT 132. The startest would only render a star image surrounded by half circled diffraction...
Hi As I said the optics are OK I took this with the flattener Weds night with the un modded Canon 1000d (1st image) Ok I know its M42 and its done to death ...
Steve, well, looks like you have it sorted. The focus looks great, and the stars are pinpoints, lovely shot. Maybe re-visit the file and don't "clip" it so...
The guy I mentioned in msg# 19192 asks me to post this inquiry for him here. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/William-Optics/message/19192 Does anybody here...
Hi, Does anyone know where I might find one of WO's APOGRADE kits for a ZS80? I assume they cannot be bought from WO, since they aren't listed on the website. ...
Hello, Here you have my last image with the FLT98, without any field flatenner. Mount was a CGEM and camera is ST2000XM with Astrodon filters. It has about 13...
<<Does anyone know where I might find one of WO's APOGRADE kits for a ZS80?>> You might check with Stellarvue in Auburn, CA. They offer a triplet apo lens,...
Does anyone have step by step instructions (with images would be great) of how to and reassemble a WO 2" duel speed focuser? I have some binding and need to...
I just acquired a long time desired Megrez 110. I do integrative video AP and wanted an APO that provided a fast FR and would be not only a wide FOV DSO scope...
Hello all, I was wondering if someone could help me decipher which is the correct FR/FF for the Megrez 110 and if that is not available, what is the next best...
I have both of these OTAs. Tried them both, and can absolutely detect no difference in performance other than the focal lengths in image quality. To my...
I never has ZS66SD but I have ZS70ED and AT66ED. I believe that AT66ED is same as ZS66SD but diffrent name. If I'm right, I would keep AT66ED and pass ZS70ED...
Timm it would seem that all roads lead back to you, I have look for and can't find your craford focuser assembly intructions in the files section of the forum....

Thank you very much, POP ! The ZS 70ED is a beautiful scope, strong mechanics. But it will be sold. I'll keep the 66SD. It is lighter. I only use it for...

Hey Charles, I have one mod suggestion for you, and it's easy to do. Â It's what I did with my WO ZS66SD to keep the stock focuser from slipping when the scope...
Hey Clive, I can speak from experience on this. I had a WO Megrez 110ED doublet. Optics were good, but certainly not excellent. Some, but not much, CA on...
Thanks Perry. I'm still holding out for a "tune up" pdf or tutorial of some kind. My hopes are that once done I won't not need to use the lock at all and...
I know this is an old thread, after giving up on this years ago, I have stumbled across a solution. Astronomics sells an extention tube for their new RC scopes...
Last night I was finally able to get out and do a little astro-photography. We set a record in October for the number of rainy days. Saturday was a glorious...
Tom, That's very nice for only 72 minutes of exposure! You mentioned invasive light from Luna. How dark were your skies otherwise? I find it somewhat...
Thanks Perry, I drive about 1/2 hour to an imaging site. From that site the skies to the west are pretty good, mag 5. To the east is Columbia, MO which does...
