Questar 3.5 Telescope 80-160x Lens
Fantastic service given by Simon at Widescreen. He was undaunted by the problem we had with a jammed lens which eventually had to be sent back to Questar to be mended, this all took time but it arrived safely back from the States and is now back in operation all thanks to to Widescreen. Would highly recommend.
Thank-you.

Feather Touch Focuser on Esprit 80ed
I decided to replace the stock focuser on my Esprit 80ed with a Feather Touch and a ZWO EAF - A special adapter had to be manufactured in the States. I wanted the whole thing to connect to my existing equipment (also sourced at the Widescreen Centre) - And all this during a pandemic and some significant changes at the manufacturer in the States. The equipment arrived with me today in perfect condition with everything down to the last screw included in the delivery. I have successfully mounted everything, and the setup exceeds my expectations and all bang on the quoted budget
I would like to extend my thanks to both Simon and Joseph for all their help, advice and assistance and remain:
One happy customer

Very good service
After searching everywhere for a televue 2x 2" powermate, i came across Widescreen who were showing the item in stock. After a quick email and almost instant response confirming that it was in stock i place my order and received it next day in an amazingly well protected package.

Quick and precise service!
I needed one item that was not in stock, I asked for availability and received almost immediately a reply telling me that it was actually coming the day after.
So I placed the order, and indeed the day after the item arrived and it was shipped with a next-day delivery.
Great service!
