Extremely beautiful and functional telescope! I am very pleased with the Z71!
I plan to use it for a small wide field astrophotography system. I have owned small short tube William Optics scopes in the past and am very excited to purchase another. I wasn't sure how they could get any better but they have! The nice focuser knob cover, temp gauge and pre drilled screw holes for directly mounting the finder/guide bracket are all welcome additions. The quick focus lock and focus rotation make the scope easy and friendly to use. The red trim, included dielectric and crystal clear viewing made for a great first light in the back yard on the tripod!
Can't wait to set it up for imaging.
The scope is very well made. This is something I will have for many years.
The features vs the price point fit me perfectly and allowed me to purchase an accessory finder bracket from William Optics in the same order. It screws right in, I would highly recommend it!
I would not hesitate to purchase ..

Este ocular me ha mostrado el cielo con mi Dobson 8'' F6 como si de un buscador se tratase, el campo muy generoso 2,4º y la calidad excelente sin distorsiones en los extremos ni falso color de otros oculares.

![NEW 1.25\" CF Style Dielectric Diagonal](images/dig_die_125in_carbonFiberSC.jpg "NEW 1.25\\" CF Style Dielectric Diagonal") |
I first purchased this diagonal on my last combat deployment, and used it in conjunction with a 4" Mak. The difference in views I got with the William Optics Diagonal, compared to the diagonal that was supplied with the telescope were more than noticeably better.
For DSOs using an F/14 ratio Mak, I needed all the light I could get, and this diagonal helped out quite a bit. It turned the Orion Nebula into a real treat.
The input tube is threaded for a filter, which I found to be very time saving, and the lens objective retaining ring was great. It held all my lenses firmly in place without marring the barrels.
As soon as my company gets settled in Afghanistan, I plan on purchasing this diagonal again, to use with a 180mm Mak!

These are superb binoculars. With a 7.1mm exit pupil you best have young eyes, as well. As we age, pupil maximum opening at night is reduced. At my age of 82, it is about 3mm at best. So, look to 10X50 or 12x50 binoculars. If you are 60 years old, you may most likely have 4mm eyes..

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.
