I would like to take a minute to invite you to www.astrophotogallery.org . Its a free website where each member gets a gigabyte of space to upload and manage...
The typical design of the WO Crawford focuser does have 5 points of contact. Four bearing on top and the focuser shaft on the bottom. Without the force from...
Hi Sander, I have to agree the mecanics is a real source of problem when you do imaging with WO scope. I own a ZS80FD (anniversary) and have changed to a Tak...
Sander There may be something misaligned in your focuser, or It might just be a matter of definition. With a modest load on the shaft preload setting there...
Hi All I posted some comment on my FLT110's focuser problems some time back. I've just rebuilt it (with WO's blessing.) It sounds like the same mechannical...
Hi Bruce: I do not have the confidence nor the skill to do what you did on the 110 FLT. I took what I thought would be the most direct route to the problem and...
... Hi Geoff, I was looking at the new Baader Steeltrack 3" focuser. It seems that there is an adapter made for tubes like that of the ZS110. So it might be a...
Don, I appreciate you sharing this experience with us. It is good to know that customer service at WO is continuing to provide quality, personal service. Nice...
I've recently started to have a problem with collimation. It seems after a couple of hours out in cold temps (20's)collimation goes out. It's noticable at...
This is another lunar eclipse, taken in my light polluted back yard in SW FL. ZS 105 f/7, camera Canon 30d. E/Z Touch mount. different exposures through out...
I believe Kurt hit the nail squarely on the head with that comment. It's BECAUSE William Optics doesn't engage in practices claiming to be equal or better than...
I am familiar with two versions of the WO GT-1 line the GT-1 and the GT-1 HD. However when I look at the photos of the mount in the file section Mr. Yang is...
The GT-ONE you are refering to is a prototype that never went to market. I think Herb York might have got it or William kept it. I'd love to add it to my...
Hi Mark, Welcome to the group, and to being a WO dealer. I think you are correct regarding WO's mission with their products. I think only TEC or AP could put...
OK, WO never intended to compete with the best in the business. So I see this nicely machined 110mm triplet APO executed from a TMB design, offering a 68mm...
Hi Roy; To make a long story short..I agree with you and lets not overstate how wonderful WO is ...it is a good compnay to deal with but scopes competitive...
Hi Roy, Your comments are VERY welcome here, and hopefully WO has people that read them so that they can gather information to continue to improve their...
Howard & Timm, Sure would be nice to order some things ala carte. I remember for many years electronic sound equipment. You would see many manufacture names in...
I just got my EZ-Touch for my Megrez 90, to mount on my Oberwerk tripod. I cannot figure out the logic of the altitude setting circle. First, the index mark is...
Hi all, First post here, and looking for some info. I am seriously considering the Megrez 110 but I'm hesitating because of the focal length. I already own...
Try William Optics Ebay listing. You can get very good deal there. They sell M110 and M102 on it right now. I bought WO scope from Ebay at good price. ...
Hi All, In response to these comments about WO. I own the FLT110 and monster field flattener (boy I had no idea, reminds me of the shotput I threw in high...
... service. I have also have had issues with their products. ie the Z105 scope but these problems were handled by WO in a straightforward no fuss manner. I...
Hi Chestnuttree1984, Are you sure that is altitude setting circle? I think index mark is just a decoration to make Eazy-Touch look better. This is Alt. mount...
Roy, Believe it or not, I am not a WO defender. I've followed their growth since the late 90's, and like what I saw. Despite that, I never owned one until a...
Yes, the mount has analog setting circles. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment, but obviously setting circles have a use for visual observers and not just...
