WILLIAM OPTICS OPTICS FLT-120 Triplet APO Refractor OTA In Red
Warning
Never aim your telescope or finder scope at the Sun without proper Solar
filters installed on the front of the telescope. Doing so for even a moment
may permanently damage your vision. Proper Solar filters consist of filters
made by reputable manufacturers, designed to fit tightly over the front of the
dew shield. Solar eyepiece filters are not considered safe, and should not be
used. With proper front mounted Solar filters, the telescope will not be
harmed by viewing the Sun.

NOTE
We are using a new lens cell design that includes FP53 glass in the WO triplet
series (GT and FLT series). This design is perfect for temperature
compensation to better prevent pinched optics, that can occur in cold weather
conditions.
Before storing your telescope, you must leave it uncovered, with the tube open
for enough time to allow it to adjust to the room temperature. You must make
sure the telescope is completely dry of any dew or moisture before it can be
safely stored.
The telescope should always be stored in a dry location, with a consistent
temperature.
