Kurt Friedrich posts his review of his William Optics ZS110 refractor telescope as well as some photos taken with the use of the scope on Astromart.com. 'My AP130 on the Tak EM-200 is a perfect set up at my house, but because of light pollution where I live, I wanted a scope that I can more easily transport in my car to a dark site. I already have a Losmandy GM-8, so when William Optics announced their new ZS110 at such a great price, I ordered one immediately. The GM-8 and the ZS110 are both a perfect size. 110mm makes for a serious camera lens, but still very easy to transport and setup. Removing the new scope from the nice solid aluminum carrying case revealed a mechanical beauty. With its black anodized finish with gold trim, and that big STM coated objective, this scope will impress any astro on non-astro person. I also own WOs ZS80, when I sit in my den chair with these black beauties on either side of me, I feel like I am in some kind of art museum.'
