WILLIAM OPTICS P-111-WIFD Refractor Telescope
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 in the WO Pleiades series telescopes. This
design incorporates the use of high-quality FPL-53 glass for superior optical
performance. Before storing your telescope, it is crucial to allow it
sufficient time to acclimatize to room temperature. Please ensure that the
telescope is thoroughly dry, free of dew or moisture, before storing. This
ensures the safety and longevity of the telescope’s components. Always store
the telescope in a consistent-temperature and dry environment to prevent any
potential damage to the optical elements. Remember to leave the tube uncovered
and opened during the acclimatization period. As always, taking appropriate
care of your telescope will ensure its optimal performance and extend its
lifespan.

TELESCOPE DIAGRAM
R & P GEAR SPACING SCREWS
- Adjustment Screws (3 mm Allen Key) – Pull Screw
- Adjustment Screws (2 mm Allen Key) – Push Screw
- Can be Removed to Attach the Electronic Motorized Device such as EAF (Please refer to the instructions on page 13)
- Tension Screw (Please refer to Note 2)
- Do Not Touch
IMPORTANT NOTE:
- The focuser smoothness adjustment ONLY when necessary by progressively push & pull screws until you reach the desired smoothness.
- When using the telescope with the motor, please ensure that the tension screw is not over-tightened. Over-tightening the tension screw may cause damage to the focuser. Think of it like driving a car and pressing the gas pedal while also pressing the brake simultaneously. Just as this action could harm your car’s systems, over-tightening the tension screw could compromise the functionality of your telescope’s focuser.
