  1. Hi all, I braved the winds last night just to see if I can get focus with my 72 ed using the TS ff/ reducer with my ASI 1600mm and im glad to say I did with no problems. I have still got to get the spacing right but from the single shot I took last night it all seems do able. There was plenty of Focus tube left! thank you all those who pointed me in the right direction. cant wait to use this scope in anger!
  2. Thats it, no good weather for at least a month then! lol. good luck hope it all works out well.
  3. Well, Got my 72 ED this week, Also went for TS FF/fr. I have had a quick set up pay in the house but as usual the weather not letting me test it. Also for those interested the SW auto focuser fits no problem. I have set the spacing for the FR to 65mm for the first test, does that sound about right? Im using a ZWO 1600 mm pro and narrow band filters for this set up so wish me luck!
  4. Oh well, I'll be looking at the TS one more expense! Hope you get sorted.
  5. Hi, well I hope you can get it sorted. weather is going to be a pain for the next few weeks. think ill be going for TS one if you dont have any luck. All the best. Andy
  6. Any news on this FF/ fr ? Just waiting to see which one to go for.
  7. looking good, hope the stars are ok, if so i will get the WO ts/r.
  8. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the William Optics flat 6a. Hope it works, it will save a few quid if it does!
  9. I see what you mean, and its a bit cheaper too. I think some good research is needed here.?. I wonder if anybody has used one with an ED72. Im looking into getting one and the TS flattener was the one I was looking at adding to the ED72 but this WO looks like another option.
  10. Hi Susaron. Thanks for the reply, I know its a bit bigger but my guide scope is going to be the SW Startravel 80! My guide scope will be bigger than the ED72! The reason being its what I have at hand. I think if I mount it forword of the C of G I may get some sort of balance. As for the reducer if i can fit my ZWO filter wheel and still give me the required 65mm I may try one. Once again thanks for the advice.
  11. BTW, witch TS flattner do you recomend? there seem to be a few to chose from.
  12. Thanks for the pointer. Hi, nice image, saw that in the other forum. I would like to have the reducer to cut down on sub lenght as i will be using NB filters. as long as I can get focus with the SW reducer and my filter wheel I will go with the Sw one, if not i will have to again at just flattners. .
  13. Hi all, Im thinking of getting a SW 72ED pro to complement my SW 130 pds. The one thing that is giving me food for thought is the back focus. Can anyone confirm that with the SW reducer/flattener that I would be able to get focus using my ZWO asi 1600mmc and filter wheel. If it is possible how much back focus do i have left and is it an issue? Also what if it is possible what spacing is it the reducer from the sensor? is it 55mm. Oh and another thing! lol. What length Of Dovetail bar do I need to help balance? Thanks in advance. Simmo
  14. Hi. Im have just been advised to speak to you about SW evostar ED72. Im looking for another scope to use with then replace my SW 130 PDS. Im using an ASI1600mm pro for imaging and it works ok with my 130 but want to take out the collimation problem and have an easier to use scope. What are your thoughts on the scope and have you  had any problems or things you need to make it work for you. 

    All the Best

      Hi Simmo

      I've recently put a review here on SGL and copied it to the listing for it at FLO which is where I bought it.  I suggest you read it and please pm me back if you have any more questions.  I'm pleased to help out any way I can.

      I just love this scope, it's excellent in every way really is a bargain.  I can't see anyone not liking it.

      Very best regards, Paul

  15. Yep that adds up. As you say a bit long winded but works out of the box!
  16. Can you tell me please? need to get it right in my head for when I get mine. thanks
