(HOT ITEM) SWAN 40mm (2") Eyepiece by KORY LAHUE Date Added: Tuesday 28 April, 2009
<b>(HOT ITEM)</b> SWAN 40mm (2") Eyepiece A while back, I ordered the 40mm Swan, and was extremely surprised with the eyepiece. The craftsmanship is superb. When I looked through it in my 8" LX90, I was "wowed". I then ordered all the other 2" eyepieces, as well as the 1.25" eyepieces, and the binoviewer. The craftsmanship and quality in all of these products were superb. I, like alot of people, got the Televue bug. I sold all my William Optics accessories to fund the purchase of several Naglers and Panoptics. I had 7 of them. After a few months, I sold all the Televue's and replaced all the William Optics accessories I had before. To me, these are better than the big, clunky black eyepieces with green lettering. The optics were clearer, and craftsmanship is much better. William Optics makes a superb product, I wish I could afford one of their scopes. The Swan's are excellent eyepieces, and I'd like to see them make a higher powered 2" Swan, something under 20mm. Im a William Optics viewer for life.

(Lowest Price) Flattener/Reducer 0.8x reducer v. III by Jose Mtanous Date Added: Saturday 07 March, 2009
<b>(Lowest Price)</b> Flattener/Reducer 0.8x reducer v. III Don't even bother! I have a Megrez 90mm, the scope performs flawlessly visually. I think is a bargain for the price. But the FF3 is a complete different story. I bought the FF3 from OPT because I wanted to use my Megrez 90mm with a Canon 350d. The results are awful. The stars are round in 60% of the imaging circle. Further from the central 60% the stars start to elongate and at the corners they look like small saturns. I decided to get the flattener from WO because I though the FF3 was designed and tested for the M90 as it is advertised in the product page. I have better results better results without the FF3. Wonderful scope awful flattener!

NEW FLT 98CF APO OTA Triplet Air-Spaced by paul gordon Date Added: Tuesday 30 September, 2008
NEW FLT 98CF APO OTA Triplet Air-Spaced Review of FLT-98 On receiving this scope from Ian King my first thoughts were what a beautiful looking refractor. The build quality is the best of any refractor I have owned, Its light but very solid being Carbon Fibre. the mechanics of the focuser are truly excellent a very positive note for budding Astro photographers hanging large CCD cameras or DSLR off the end!! I use a Canon 40D and it does not budge a millimeter even when passing the Zenith. the dual speed focuser is a joy to use and helps with the fine tuning of the image via your eye or laptop screen. then we move onto the optics which are stunning! Visually the colour correction is really superb I could see no hints of blue or red out of focus let alone in focus, more important to me is ccd imaging. again this Refractor delivers though you will need a reducer / flattener to get the best out of it with APS / 35mm CCD's. Here is one of my best images taken with the FLT-98 / Canon 40D combo: - http://www.madpc.co.uk/Images/L..

(Best Price) FLT 132mm APO OTA f/7 Triplet + Ring by Robert O'Farrell Date Added: Tuesday 20 May, 2008
<b>(Best Price)</b> FLT 132mm APO OTA f/7  Triplet + Ring When I ordered this OTA I was a little bit unsure (spending almost 4,000 site unseen), but I went ahead due to William Optics reputation and order the FLT-132. Once I recieved this OTA I was relieved and impressed. The case alone shows the company's dedication to quality. The optics in this OTA is great. The workmanship on every aspect of this telescope is excellent. The focuser's rotating end piece is a nice touch; so much better than loosening the knob holding the diagonal to rotate your diagonal. The fine focus knob works great and no scope should be without one. The first night I used this OTA I was so pleased with it. When I had a night where seeing was very good this scope really shined. The Moon at high magnification was SPECTACULAR! I use a 4mm lens through a 2x Barlow and saw the Moon like never before. Craters so small peppered the surface of the moon and small rocks looking almost like suger grains through a microscope. All I can say is this met and exceeded everyone o..

NEW LOW PRICE EAZY TOUCH ALT-AZ MOUNT by Jay Ouellet Date Added: Sunday 12 August, 2007
<b>NEW LOW PRICE</b> EAZY TOUCH ALT-AZ MOUNT I bought the EZTouch Alt/Az Mount from William Optics on site at NEAF, near NYC, this May 2007. The head is very fluid and tracking is a breeze. I recently attached an Antares 152 6'' refractor weighing 22 lbs with my Van Slyke eyepiece turret supporting 6 eyepieces. This mount/ tripod combination performed flawlessly. Only the wind created some jumping of the image...as the tube at focus was about 46''...easily susceptible to wind-induced vibration. The wooden tripod is slightly less massive and less solid than my Gibralter but on the other hand it weighs noticeably less. The EZ Touch easily supported my 80 refractor and will easily support my new FSQ-106ED when it arrives. I have no longer any need for the otherwise fine Gibralter mount...as the weight factor became a pain for me when lugging it around to star parties. Again, the mount itself is ultra-smooth and tracking is no problem at any reasonable power. BTW, David Yang, who is William's younger brother, was very friendly an..
