The working length of William Optics FLT 132 ?? - Forums

Hello,

I am wondering of anyone could tell me the length of a WO FLT 132 with OTA filter wheel and camera and in focus for DSO´s ?

I have a small observatory that measures 1500mm x1500mm with a Skywatcher EQ8 R-Pro mount.

I need to know if this will work or if my telescope will be too large for this observatory before I press the purchase button.

Thank you

I went out in the yard and measured it 😊, 1.2 meters or 4 ft.

Setup is this: https://www.astrobin.com/8du4tq/B/?nc=user

Hope that helps!

I've been eyeing that scope, too. Don't take the last one! Kidding. Best of luck and clear skies if you get it!

Was it the one at Agena Astro? I saw they had one in stock for a couple weeks that disappeared yesterday afternoon. If it had stuck around another couple weeks I probably would have caved in and ordered it.

Hei Alex,

Yes it looks like an amazing scope, but now I need to take some measurements to make sure it can actually fit and move freely in my observatory.

I have ordered it directly from WO and there is about 8 weeks wait on this. But ion it dont fit I will have to cancel the order

So im not the culprit of the missing scope at Agena Astro
