Description

Welcome to William Optics Discussion Group. If you are here, it's because you have already heard about William Optics: you are half way through, the fun starts here and now!
Whether you already are one of the lucky owners of William Optics refractors and just want to show off your astro-imaging/astrophotography accomplishments and pics; whether you are after one yourself and want some advice from other fellow WO experts; whether you hate WO telescopes because they are too good to be true compared to other brands; please join in, share your experiences in astronomy and discuss with other friends.

Bill, I do not know if William Optics supplies a 2mm Hex Wrench, but you will need one. I bought several at a local hardware store in the "Little Drawers"
