Its 5.7-degree field of view makes alignment and finding a guide star easy, and the integrated dew shield keeps the front lens free from condensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a tubing weight of only 460 g (1 lb), this OTA hardly strains your mounting setup. The 1.25-inch RotoLock clamps your guide camera securely in place with a twist; the large ribbed ring also works with gloves. This model is black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-50mm-f4.0-RotoLock-Guidescope-1.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics 50\/200 guide scope RotoLock black\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-50mm-f4.0-RotoLock-Guidescope-2.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics 50\/200 guide scope RotoLock black\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-50mm-f4.0-RotoLock-Guidescope-4.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics 50\/200 guide scope RotoLock black\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-50mm-f4.0-RotoLock-Guidescope-3.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics 50\/200 guide scope RotoLock black\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-50mm-f4.0-RotoLock-Guidescope-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics 50\/200 guide scope RotoLock black\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8d39b2df wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:38%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-50mm-f4.0-RotoLock-Guidescope-2.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics 50\/200 guide scope RotoLock black\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:62%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assembly<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You mount the tube parallel to your main telescope, for example in the William Optics 50 mm tube clamps on a prism rail.
