William Optics GT102 sanity check
Hey guys,
Looks like I've got the wife on my side and I'm considering the acquisition of a William Optics GT102.
The scope will be used for DSO photography with a small chip, mono CCD (Sony ICX674). I'm mostly interested in galaxies and I already have a WO GT-81 for wider field work (2"/px). Aiming for something to get me between 1.3"/px and 1.5"/px -- the GT102 will put me at 1.3" and that's about as deep as I'm comfortable going.
I'm only interested in refractors as there's always a plethora of things going wrong so I don't want to have to worry about collimation, I just want something that's plug and play.
So... any thoughts? Am I about to make a mistake that will eventually result in me selling yet another scope? Anything else that's better for my purposes, for the same money? Based on my calculations I think it'll cost me just shy of $2300 to land in Aus buying direct from WO.
Cheers,
Lee
