Another happy WO66 SD owner.

Mine is a newer model with the 10:1 focuser and is used for wide filed imaging, as a guide and travel scope.

Mechanically and visually I cannot fault it.

For photo work you need the relevant WO adapter ($$) or extension tube to get to focus as has already been mentioned. The SD version suffers with some field curvature when coupled with my Canon20D - I have to crop at about 75% of the frame, with a full frame camera this would be much worse. A flattener is now available and would make a useful addition to the scope is you are going to use a big sensor. Native the scope is a good match to the DSI, Orion Starshoot etc.
