This is a superb piece of triplet, with medium reach. Great scope for most of the nebulas and few of the galaxies. With the flattener, the stars are round corner to corner. Luckily, I got the red one, which nicely matches with ZWO environment and GEM28. As usual, all the advice given by Alex prior to purchase regarding backfocus, attaching the camera and so on. 5 stars for the scope and FLO. I would give 6 for Alex. Cheers.

Five stars for both the telescope and the service! The GT81 is absolutely fantastic for astrophotography and has the great quality associated with WO gear. Purchasing through FLO gives peace of mind having had the Es Reid optical check and FLO’s service was great as they kept me updated on how the order was progressing and answered queries I had.
