I checked Astromart to see if any sold there in the last 2 years. There were 4. THREE of them said they had never taken it out of the box! I guess its...

I sent mail to the 2 who were not marked sold (there were like 1 year old ads) and they were both nice enough to reply that they had in fact sold. The one that...
William, Thanks for that does the January 2005 release date apply to the new 66mm scope as well? (thats the one Im really interested in). Cheers ... ...
I found a website that shows Bushnell has bought up Tasco, so Tasco is back in business. STILL selling telescopes with incredible magnification claims (ie:...
I felt compelled to mention the new 80 mm ED Triplet that I just received from WO. I must say that the workmanship is second to none and I am an owner of a...
Hello Dave I was very interested to read your impressions. I have recently purchased an 80 ED too. Whilst it is most definitealy an impressive instrument, I...
Hi, I'm about to buy a star diagonal for my WO 80 trplet apo and I'm considering either an AP Maxbrite or a WO diagonal. The WO diagonals are much less...
Andrew....I am using the 2" WO diagonal that I have been using for over a year on my Tak FS-102 so I know that it performs well. I haven't had the opportunity...
Rob......I can't tell you that they are going to last forever but for $100 or so, they are a great buy. Check out some of the reviews on CloudyNights etc. I...
Rob, I have the silver coated WO 2" star diagonal and I am very pleased with the performance, mechanics, and looks. I don't have a collimation problem. Ed...
I've had the new WO 80mm ED triplet for 2 weeks and have used it 5 times. Here are some brief impressions that may help any prospective buyers. All tests were...
Hi, comments inserted in your email ... From: "sandmanchang" ... My Megrez Flourite APO, also had that problem until i found that the screw was not going...
Hi Jose, thanks for the tip on the screw, I'll take a look. Any other users of the new triplet ED see astigmatism due to field curvature with a wide angle...
Maybe we can get William or David to chime in on these comments and problems when they get a little spare time. I'm sure that they can give some good ...

Sandy, I'm glad to hear such favorable impressions of this scope. I ordered one today to use a quick grab-and-go scope as well as for traveling. I too have a...
Hi Michael, Don't worry, you've made the right choice. David Yang told me that there will be a field flattner available for the ED triplet, so you can do...
... Hi, please take my comment with a grain of salt ;) I do not think that any owner of a WO Megrez Triplet Fluorite APO would call the TV 85 a "True APO" ;) ...
Chris.....I use the WO 2" Diagonal on my C5+ with a 13mm Type1 Nagler which weighs well over a pound on an old Polaris mount with no problems. This combo...
Hi Group I have a Megrez 80mm SD refractor and a WO110mm triplet Fluorostar. I am considering the purchase of a 80mm Megrez either the Fluorite triplet or the...
Hi Again Chris, I have always believed the ED is as much an APO as Flourite. I also have 'read' that a lot has to do with the quality of the glass and optical...
