William Optics Easy Touch and FLT 132
      #2125022 - 01/16/08 06:15 PM

Has anyone tried to mount the FLT 132 on to a William Optics Easy Touch with the mount that they sell? What is it like, any shakiness? Would you recommend this setup?

Bees:

I purchased my 132 from William Optics and took delivery at RTMC last May. When I arrived at the convention I found the 132 mounted on a WO EZtouch and set up as their display. (I agreed to that) It was mounted with the WO Dovetail and Saddle plate and seemed very stable.

I had an opportunity to look through the 132 during the day on the EZtouch and found it to be very stable and very smooth and very capable of holding the scope for visual observing. I did not get an opportunity to look through it at night.

I liked it so much I purchased the mount and tripod while I was there. It did not get used at all this summer so I decided to sell it a few weeks ago, but that is another story.

I like my 132 on it's EQ-6 Pro but sure I'd reccomend this setup if you want a quick setup for your 132.
