I'm looking to buy my second scope. 1st was a 10" reflector. Too big for first scope given where i had to carry it to get to the viewing area. Also didn't know much about setting up a goto. very quickly disillusioned. 10 years later (abouts) i'm looking to a refractor. A TAK TSA 102S or a William Optics FLT 110. Both Triplets. I want to use my canon 7D off the back. But i want to do visual as well. one supplier tells me the TAK is really good at Astrophotography and not so good at Visual. He tells me his product is superior on both counts. The other tells me the TAK is all made in Japan and the other is make in Taiwan or China. 1 review mentioned that the glass on the WO is made in Russia, another says Taiwan. The seller tells me they are the same optics brand as the TAK (Japanese). I want a quality product (it's that time of life) and am happy to make the investment. Anyone got any ideas OR FACTS. Both are beautiful scopes, but how well made and how accurate is the collimination out of the box. Help please.
