The William Optics ZS61 ED refractor uses a doublet with synthetic flourite glass. These types of optical instruments approach the performance of expensive APO triplets, at a much lower price. The heart of this refractor is a two-element lens φ = 61 mm, with FPL53 glass, with aperture f/5.9.
The tube is equipped with a very good 2-inch Rack and Pinion extractor with a 10:1 microfocus, which works smoothly and is stable - you can rely on it.
The telescope has a retractable deflector and a mounting base in the Vixen standard, and high quality fit and finish has long been a hallmark of William Optics products.
So we have beautiful "outdoor" equipment, especially recommended for astrophotography in wide frames, and as an observation telescope and for digiscoping. • construction: Apo FPL53 doublet

• length: 245 - 315 mm (depending on the position of the deflector)
• weight: 1.45 kg One of the key aspects of astrophotography is ensuring proper guidance, which is achieved by using a telescope and a camera connected to it, which allows for correction of the operation of the assembly engines.
The William Optics UniGuide 32 mm guiding scope is a top-quality optical device attached to the telescope using an integrated Vixen shoe. It can work with cameras with both an M42 thread and a 1.25" mount, which makes this instrument extremely universal.
The optical system of this high light intensity telescope is enclosed in a light, gold-colored metal housing with a scale to facilitate focusing.
The back focus of the UniGuide 32 mm scope is 20.1 mm. Before selecting a camera for guiding, check whether this value is consistent with its technical specifications. • lightweight metal housing with integrated Vixen stand

William Optics Zenithstar ZS 61 II is very good quality equipment, light and very well made - like all William Optics products. Very good extraction, the Bahtinov mask included by the manufacturer makes it very easy to focus on the star. I bought the telescope mainly for deep space photos and it met my expectations. Below is a photo of the M31 galaxy (WO 61 + flattener P-FLAT61R WO Z61 adjustable, Canon 6D Mark II, i.e. full frame).
