WO GT81 2020 Edition


Recommended Posts

Loving this scope so far. Got 15 x 180s subs on the Veil nebula before clouds rolled in. What a difference this is over the 3 x Esprit 80's. Bright stars are clean and defined not like the awful pinched stars from the Esprit.

This is a screen grab from NINA. Need to do a little tweak to the backfocus spacing as stars are slightly elongated in the corner. The built in rotator is fantastic too, so easy to operate.

Andy, I too have this scope but have zero subs so far due to the awful clouds that seem to be in permanent residence here. I'm interested in your Vixen bar placement as I had to reverse mine to get anywhere near balance.  I have a ZWO EAF on its way eventually and I guess I will have to reverse the focuser to the top to fit that. Do you have a picture to show which mounting holes you used on the underside as the two outer grub-screws appear to hold the bearings in. Not sure what the inner set do.

Thanks

Len
