Williams Optics Zenithstar 70 ED

[Bobby1970]

Been offered one of these for £200

Appears to be in good condition apart from slight mark on the OTA where some paint has been chipped off.

Does this sound like a good buy?

Thanks

About right, I see the older Megrez 72's for that price sort of £200-£220-£250.

Think that as WO had the 72, then the 70, then the 71 it is fair to consider them as all very similar.

Very nice little scope, ideal for running outside with when a bit of clear sky suddenly appears, used as an imaging scope as well, especially if the idea is to try imaging and not dive in with an open bank account you want to empty.

Normal WO build, it will break your foot if you drop it in it, cannot recall the focuser type, R&P or Crayford.

Likely has the DDG on it, you either love or hate them.

Bright RED I suppose, actually not as bad as it sounds.

No reason to run away from it.

Its actually white and gold.

Also been approached regarding a celestron 80ed.
