Last night I was able to achieve first light with my new telescope, a William Optics FLT 110. Mine is the new "Lite" version with the new 2.5" focuser,...
Tom, Thanks for sharing those photo's. I love that scope, it's good to see such good performance from it. You have a very nice gallery! CS's John ... a ... ...
Graz with this result Tom, Very nice ,I must admit that it isn't so obvious that the stars are elongated to the corners. A FF wil improve the picture but to...
Frans, Cooled Canon EOS 40DA?...You mean modify or I missed something? Thanks!Daniel FafardSaint-Charles Borromée, Québec, CanadaLat: 46º 2' 50' NordLong:...

I need to sell my FLT 110 TMB f/7 to fund a 6" refractor purchase. I have had this telescope for one year. It is in like new condition with no blemishes at...
Still no response from WO Ny UK agents have differing views some say its FPL-51 some say its FPL- 53. One agent even quoted my onw thread back to me! Somebody...
Frans, It doesn't look like the cooled 40D has been modified in any way that should affect the focus. I don't know the W/O 98mm triplet; I do know my W/O 80mm...
For information only response from WO as below "The Megrez 88 FD is Extra Low dispersion ED glass." when I pushed to see if it is FPL-51 or FPL-53 the...
Nigel, Sorry, but that is asinine customer assistance. That's like buying a new car and asking who made the engine. The salesman responds, "I can't tell you...
Hi Nigel, If knowing the glass type of the ED element is important to you then you probably don't want to buy from Stellarvue either, since with a few rare...
Tim I am jsut getting back in Astronomy after a number of years and my how things have changed. True it is the design and perfomance of the scope that matters...
Sorry, Timm. That's my observation as an unbiased consumer. When spending my own $$$, I don't mince words. There are good products and poor service and...
Hi Perry, Thanks for sharing yours and my thoughts with Vic and SV - I hope Vic gets a chuckle out of it. He seems to have a good sense of humor, as evidenced...
Hi Nigel, I completely understand your position. While it may seem strange that WO reveals the glass type in some cases, and not in others, it is no less...
Hey Paul, I'm not exactly sure where I'm going to be on Saturday! Right now, it's in North Augusta, SC USofA. Could you enlighten me??!! Regards, Perry ... ...
Posted in photos under Bullfox's images. Taken with the occasionally maligned Megrez 110. No reducer. 34 x 5 minute subs. Orion Star Shoot Pro imaging camera,...
I have had nothing but first-class treatment from William Optics customer service. They have always treated me with respect and have always demonstrated a...
After a few years hiatus, I am back into astronomy and perhaps soon some more astrophotography. My current setup includes a WO GT1 mount and the first ever...
Hi, I've been noodling on this one for a little while but I think it's publishable now. Unfortunately my two sessions did not overlap very well so I had to...
Thanks Curt! There's some color around the star's edges. It seems more prevalent with galaxy images, very odd. Of course there are limits to how good M110...
I don't think you can capture faint galaxy detail and get good star colors with the same exposure. By the time you have enough light to get the galaxy, the...
Thanks for the advise Kurt. I frankly hadn't considered star blowout as the cause of the red rings. I thought it was due to one of my optical elements causing...
well, we may be talking apples and oranges here. I thought you were trying to maintain a more accurate star color, which led to my mail. If you are talking...
Hi, I made some progress here. Juan@PixInsight suggested aligning the color channels. I did and indeed colors improved. PixInsight has some powerful tools to...
Here is the last of three "First Light" photos from my new W/O FLT 110mm Lite telescope. I captured only 30 minutes, but with 3 10 minute subs. I am...
