William Optics manufacturer manual
The seven-element optical system includes three Super ED elements and provides field correction within the telescope. Rear tilt adjustment and camera rotation help align and frame the imaging sensor. The manufacturer lists a Losmandy-style mounting plate.
Unlike a generic Petzval focus-range assumption, Pleiades spacing must follow the model-specific manual. Do not assume compatibility from sensor diagonal alone.
