William Optics 80mm scopesPosted By Tom Trusock |
I'd highly recommend the ED Triplet.
The initial sample I was sent was out of collimation, but David Yang was very good to work with, and the scope now shows good images. On the average night it will take 150x - 160x on saturn, and in excess of 200x on the moon before the image begins to break down. I also recently split Rigel at 80x, and suspect I could have gone lower, but lacked an appropriate eyepiece.
This photo might give you an idea of the color correction. Taken at prime focus with a Canon D60 while mounted on a gibralter.
No processing was done except for a crop and a 50% resize for esier web posting.
