Just curious, does the WO 110ed use fpl 51, similar to the WO ZS 80ed II?
I can't find specs on WO website.
It seems very similar to Orion's premium 110ed refractor in WO clothing.

They do mention that their anniv red scope WO zs 80fd and 90fd used fpl 53.




Correct - it uses FPL 51

For those who are kicking themselves for letting theirs go, there is another one for sale over on A-mart.




Not anymore... I grabbed it...

Gonna add my name to the list of Megrez 110 owners. I'm hoping I'll like it more than my ex-Megrez 80, which was just so-so.

Congrats! I have no idea how well they perform - this is one scope I've never observed through, but they do seem to have a good reputation.

I almost bought it just because it was a great deal and i could have picked it up saving shipping and paypal. Darn surprise car repairs...

Nice grab there. I had been watching that one and was set to buy when the price dropped, but you beat me to it.

FWIW, I have purchased an eyepiece or two from the seller, and can tell you that you can expect your telescope to arrive in pristine condition. Probably better than described.

As for me, I had to settle for an EON 120 since Orion dropped the price and added free shipping.
