Ooo that's nice and sharp Steve.

Always fancied one of those WO132s for my WO collection.

Thanks

I've had issues with it, pinched optics in the cold,awful focuser and I have damaged one of the elements while trying to sort the pinched optics.

I believe the new ones have sorted out all those problems.

 

The OTA is a bit short for imaging and I have made a 100mm full tube extension, fitted a Moonlite focuser and still need a 50mm extension to get focus with the webcam.

My next idea is to find a place that does carbon fibre tubes which would also mke it a darn sight lighter.

Yes they have a new lens cell and focuser with a variloc type fitting, I bought one of those for the WO110FLT, for a few more hundreds of pounds you can have a Feather touch focuser and flattener reducer.

I have a flattener for this one but is too big for the Moonlite.

Enjoyed zooming in on this one, nice work - mosaic.
