WO Megrez 90?
Hi,
thinking about a William Optics Megrez 90 and P-Flat 4 combo for astroimaging. Thinking about shifting to a refractor for imaging as I'm over having to collimate my Newt every time I set it up or rotate the Tube. The Newt takes great pics, but I now want something that just works, so I can relax, have a glass of wine and chat with other imagers. Us Newt guys seem to be forever fiddling, whilst the refractor guys are relaxed and unstressed. I'm too old for constant playing - I used to enjoy it, now I want stuff that just works. I'll be fitting it to a Vixen GPD2 which I love after my abortive Skywatcher EQ-6 disaster. It just works, just tracks, and is easily portable.
The Megrez 90 and P-Flat4 are in my price bracket....has anyone used this combo? Is it flat to the edge with a QHY8 (which just works!!) there seem to have been a few versions, WO has them direct for US$998 plus freight, whilst Andrews has them for OZ$998, however they call it the Megrez 90B, is this a gotcha?
What do you think as a no nonsense image machine?
cheers
Gary
