They're great and they will look after you ?

Don't forget it can be used in EQ mode (beta firmware on SW website) as well !

Weird, I'll check my settings tomorrow

Did you check the connection type in settings - connect settings - choose network, mine was on serial.

Can't comment on your set up but I use the app on my Win 10 laptop to connect to AZ-Gti with no probs so it can work. Check the connection type in settings - connect settings - choose network

Old thread but heads up, the Android app has just been updated.

Spent so much time faffing with this , I'm going to use a smaller sensor (183C) Maybe try again later on

Old thread dig up alert ! So if my filter is 6mm thick, the glass being 3 mm ... Would I add 1 mm to the target distance and include the 6 mm in the distance ? So the total would be the same as adding a 5 mm spacer ?

Had another try last night , just over 69mm not good at edges ? might be the reducer ? it was never brilliant on the WO ZS71, might have to go another route

Have to add, my 'glorified SLR lens' was meant tongue in cheek , it would look beautiful on my black and red star adventurer mini ! ... Must resist

It's a glorified SLR camera lens ?

Not sure the WO is in stock anywhere ... It's for the discontinued ZS71 I could post you mine and when you've worked out spacing you can send it back ?

Not too promising so far, tried 68.5 mm and 70.5 mm without success, trying 69 mm next clear night ( March ?)

So, the lynx astro compression ring upgrade still throws the WO reducer out of true slightly. I had a M3 tap set so have 'modified' it and it holds perfectly square now . Should add, the existing thumbscrews seem to be M4 but I only had M3 Just need some stars now.

One thing with this set up ... It's impossible to get the reducer /flattener to stay Square in the holder when tightening, I'm trying the lynx astro upgrade with compression ring to see if it's any better.

Hopefully I'll be able to check star shapes tonight ...

Okey dokey, just got in from social duties, scope arrived safely from @FLO swiftly stuck the William Optics ZS71 flattener in the scope to see if I had enough focus range ... Well a picture paints a thousand words so here's one showing the flattener in position and the same again but exposed to show the 'very rough handheld Moon shot ' on the monitor. No time or chance to check star shapes but hopefully tomorrow if clear.

I have 2 Nikon T adaptors and they are 0.5mm different in thickness ... not much but there are differences. Not sure when or where I got them though, had them years. I'll be playing the spacing game tonight if scope arrives today !

Well, I'm joining club, just ordered a 72ED from FLO ... I have a William Optics flat 6a, I'll give it a whirl.

Seriously thinking of joining this club ! Going to try one on my SAM, WO ZS71 too heavy, WO ZS66 Petzval poor star shapes ... 72ED looks very interesting

Is it me or is the TS flattener incredibly similar to the WO flat 6 https://www.darkframeoptics.com/product/william-optics-0x8-flattener-reducer-zs71

Happy 2019 Essex ! lets hope we get a bit more active this year ...

Let me know when you sell the TS quad ?

Cheers Bryan, I was quite impressed with 30 seconds @ 400 mm with just a really quick polar align, trouble is now I've seen the SAM working with this scope I'm already planning a way of funding a ZS61 or similar ?

Quick smash and grab between the clouds , just bought a beautiful ZS66 semi app petzval from @assouptro very quick PA, balances nicely with Nikon D5600, managed 10 X 30 second subs ISO 800- no lights / darks stacked best 6 in DSS and curves etc in PS6. It really is a lovely looking scope but doesn't like bright stars or edges of feild ?. None of which is Bryan's fault ! Blame William Optics for that. Approx 2/3 crop to hide the edges .
