[OhNo]

I am considering a Williams optics Scope but I have a question. Has anyone hooked a ZWO camera to this scope. The scope has a 2 1/2" focuser on it!!!!

I have a WO GT102 and use a ZWO ASI1600mm with filter wheel on it with no problem. The stock focuser seems to work OK.

Thanks. Finally figured out how to make it work. If I go with this (https://williamoptics.com/products/tele ... ithstar-81) they show a Field Flattener down the page. They even show you how to do it!

Yes. I use a field flattener as well. I thought you were inquiring about the weight of the camera on the stock focuser.

[OhNo]

LOL I They have a unique method (pronounced "expensive") way to hook the camera to the focuser! The trick is to find somewhere that has both in one location. I found the scope here in Canada, but they don't carry the FF!!!! The FF would probably have to come from China.....

I am still trying to come to terms with downsizing from a 204mm Astrograph to a 80mm refractor!!!! But reports and images on AstroBin say and show the WO scopes are up to the task!
