Just got my first light of my newly purchased Spacecat 51. With my 6 D the image quality seems non acceptable.  Anyone has advise if this can be fixed or should it be return to vendor?  |

| It's probably worth checking with them. I wasn't happy with mine so contacted the seller. Couple of emails with example pics later and they confirmed it needed work. Currently waiting for a replacement now. |

| Definitely contact them. They might ask you to do some other tests to rule out camera tilt, etc. but it looks like there are some issues. I had a Z61 from them that had issues and got a replacement objective. That one also had issues and I gave up. In general I think they will try to make it right, but if you ordered directly from them, shipping costs start to add up. When you get a good one, they seem nice, but I think there are still some duds that get out. |

| Just curious for when I purchase more WO equipment... what exactly is the issue with the quality? |

| I got an attachment and once I made that adjustment the stars are absolutely sharp. The SpaceCat 51 is my travel scope. |

The seller is trying to push the issue aside.... saying sensor tilt. But the Camera works fine on other scopes with similar focal ratio... most likely I will send it back while still in the return period. |

Hi, The Redcat is a quadruplet, these scopes are very strict about distance of the sensor which must be exactly 59.7mm from its back if I am reading this diagram correctly? |

All the lenses in the scope are moving when focusin. When the image is sharp, the distance is automatically correct. Like a normal DSLR lens. In this regard the scope is fool proof. Best regards, Stephan |

Your SpaceCat should have come with an Image Tilt Adjuster. There is alway a bit of a tilt with the camera sensor that needs to be adjusted for in the optical train. If you purchased the older RedCat you may need to get this from WO. https://williamoptics.com/products/accessories/image-plane-tilt-adjuster?fbclid=IwAR1iV-tWVkTxIvOjNAVxIxryNi93KwZm0v9El6ekipIDLVqXxbMuAdkzL6k |
