Hi - I would like to add robofocuser to my WO 80mm scope. But from the pictures, I don't see how feasible it is. I know that the robofocus will attach to the...
Hi, Just saw the 0.8x Reducer/flattener in the website of a european dealer. Can you confirm that it works with thwe Megrez Triplet Fluorite APO? Waht is the...
I personally do not like to be polemic with people that work hard and I'm sure William Optics is really working very hard in these period of great expansion....
Hi Paolo et al, I have a rather old Celestron Focal "Compressor" (20 years old) and fits a Celestron 8 f/10. When you use the compressor, the focal ratio...
William is not able to make a perfect matched reducer for the Fluorite, why ? To design it perfectly, he would need to know the optical design of the main...
Hi Hal, ... fits a Celestron 8 f/10. When you use the compressor, the focal ratio becomes f/6.3. Is this a "reducer/flattener" that you have mentioned? NO, I...
Dear Markus, dear all, I understand that the bigger the reducer, the better is, but the Megrez now is as it is, with its nice 2" focuser. Making a brand new...
Hi Paolo, you must change your question to : when this compromised reducers will be available. You cannot ask for a optimized one, if he cannot be optimized...
Markus, I think it's not fair to say he must call it a "compromised" rather than an "optimized" reducer. Even the term "optimal" means "best under a given set...
All life is perfectible.... My poor question was very simple. There is a televue product on the market that is optimized for about f/7 and works well. I could...
Craig, you compare now apples with oranges, let me tell you why. If you design a apo and you make it as close as possible to the design, then you did your best...
... From: "silenser21" > ... From the Canon lens mount to the chip is 44mm, for all Canon EOS cameras. Now you need to add the distance of your particular...
hmmm interesting. This means that the reducer will not work with canon 300D cause the 44mm is being taken by the chip to the lens mount. Like you said the...
To relax, I started to split doubles with the Megrez 80 ED on the ol' Polaris equatorial mount. The "seeing" was good Friday night from Thousand Oaks, CA so I...
Hi Guys, After 5 months without pictures, a very bad weather here, I completed my Leo Triplet by more luminance exposures and with the RGB information. The...
Very Very well done. This is one of the best images of the Leo Triplet I have seen coming from a 4" APO. Congradulations. The image processing is excellent....
At first glance, this is a very very nice image of the Triplet, but as I look in closely at the detail you got in each of the 3 galaxies, it is REALLY a...
Hi Jim, hi Kurt, Thank you very much for your messages. It was a big work to process it, not for the 80 images of 10min. but for the gradients coming from the...
Hi, read review at birdforum.net of the 8 x 42 APO bino, any info on when the new version with (quote reviewer Leif) "add phase coatings to the prisms, and...
Hi Markus, I thought I'd ask these here as others will likely be interested in the answers as well. 1.) To the best of your knownledge, is there going to be...

Thanks Markus, Looks like I need to wait at least until you get the results back from your customer performing the tests. As for the Barlow I don't think I'll...
Hi Group I just wanted to let whoever is interested that I am selling my WO FLT 110mm refractor on Astromart and the Canadian Astro Buy&Sell. If you are...
Hi Guys, Thanks again for all your messages. I just posted a new and third version of my Leo Triplet. I reprocessed all the images with the luminance & RGB...
Hi Ed, yes, Markus was the first one to ask us why so small, and at the beginning he was a bit skeptical himself. Before you are seriously disappointed, why...
