I can imagine that mount would be frustrating with the 110mm.

Hope you get what you're after in Feb and look forward to hearing about it.

Hi All

Finally, after almost a month, I got to give my Williams Optics FLT110 a proper workout tonight and in addition to that I got to try out my Delos 4.5 and 6mm eyepieces which I very recently received. I had really sharp images of Jupiter with the 4.5mm and watched the shadow of a Io move across the face of Jupiter.

The Delos eyepieces are amazing. Using only a alt/az mount I was able to easily find and centre the object within the 4.5mm eyepiece with just using the laser and not the finder.

Also saw a rather bright meteor as well, so all in all, a good night.......up until the cloud rolled in again around midnight.

I am really happy with my new FLT110 and can now see why apo's are so valued. Hmmm, can I see a 6" apo on the horizon Probably not; the bank account says no!

Cheers Peter

Hi Carlos,

It is a Digital Display Gauge for focusing.

Cheers Peter
