Larry C. Verified Buyer –
1st light with my new GT81 was very disappointing, bright stars (unfocused) displayed “wedges” in the image at 11 & 5 o’clock positions, I suspected pinched optics, reaching out to WO support they responded:
“Thank you for reaching out. The spikes you are seeing on bright stars are not due to pinched optics. This effect is actually ca
used by the collimation screws on the lens cell, which are designed to help with precise optical alignment.
If you find the spikes undesirable, you can gently loosen the screws to minimize this effect. ” . . . “However, please note that this occurrence is completely normal and does not indicate any issue with the lens”
none of my other refractors display such artifacts . . . YMMV
I had contemplated purchasing a 2nd to create a side-by-side installation, given the experience with this scope – I wont be buying more WO products. . .
Also note that to use the new GT Flattener with this scope you require a spacer . . . which was not apparent at the time I purchased the flattener. . . checkout the WO product page for details
