Hi, Just playing around with a used FLT132 that I have recently purchased. There seems to be a lot of play in the drawtube, so much so that it is putting out...
I seem to get quite nice images but I am informed that an "absolute" must have to improve performance is a field flattener. Hi John, You have answered your own...
I have a 2" CF Dielectric Diagonal with the SCT adapter fitted for my ZS66. Does anyone know if the 2" adapter nosepiece for it (used to replace the SCT...
I need a focus lock thumb screw for a ZS SD66. It has the nylon soft tip as you know. Good luck trying to find these little parts that go missing from used...
Hi, The FF/FR II on this page looks like it already includes both ends http://www.williamoptics.com/wo_shop/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=266 I don't...
Hi Pete, WO has dealers in 45 countries - I seriously doubt WO could afford to stay in business if they set up a support division in each country. The costs...
Hey Timm, Pete, Timm, I wonder what WO's revenue spread is among those countries? I would think the USofA would be near the top. Direct support for the big...
Timm, Perhaps it was unclear but what I was really asking was - can the 2" adapter for the FF/FR be used on the 2" diagonal? Thanks, Peter C Hughes On 1 Jun...
Hi Peter, Oh, I understand now - that one I can't answer, but it seems likely it would be threaded the same. I can't imagine WO making it threaded differently...
Hi Perry, All the contact info is on the WO site - I don't have any special info on phone numbers or contacts. http://www.williamoptics.com/contact/main.php ...
Timm, I guess I wasn't very clear in what I thought would be a good idea. I meant just dealers to carry thumbs screws, like the focuser lock screw, RDF...
I have one made by Thousand Oaks. It is Glass ,called the Plus 2,i believe. It came with my ZS 66SD. Used it once, and it is perfect in that the sun is the...
Thank you, Harley. That does help very much. I thought I would just get the metric thumb screw in that size, and drop a soft-air pellet in the hole..< G > What...
Just out of interest - have you ever tried the ZS66's side by side as a pair of binos? There is (was?) a chap here in NZ who had an FLT-110 for sale and it got...
Hi Larry, You could also try Larry Field at http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/43s_astro/ He's the NZ WO agent, so I'd be surprised if the smallest he makes...
Hi Mitch, I have the FLT132 and the flattener. I am the same situation, too. I use FLI's ML11002M and Filter Wheels. They are not light. So I order metalwork...
Thanks Yoshio, I can see how that work. Although I still cant believe that this is normal, particularly not with a top end instrument such as this? Anybody...
Rod, I thought about it. Universal Astronomics Gallery has an image of a chap in the U.K. with a pair of 50mm Borg set up as binoculars. I really do not know...
Forgot about ScopeStuff... 8 Metric Nylon Thumb Screws for $5.00. Ten dollar order is free shipping. Need some ocular bolt cases, that would flesh it out....
Jim at ScopeStuff just supplied me with stainless steel metric thumbs screws that will fit the bill for the focuser lock screw in the ZS 66SD, maybe other...
What about a nylon screw? There are pros and cons, I'm sure. I replaced the screw that locks the focus rotation mechanism on my -66SD and my Megrez 80 with...
D.M. Thank you I am using a SBIG 4K colour. I have little image distortion, indeed I can not discern it unless I crank the magnification up 300/400%. However,...
