My Bresser 152mm, f5, 760mm fl, Modified Achro arrived today, boy was that quick. I ordered it on Monday morning our time from Teleskop-Express (shipped via UPS) and it showed up this afternoon.
On first inspection, I can say this thing is a real beast, I did not realise how big it would be but not near as heavy as a Mak-Newt. There was some shipping damage, two of the nylon screws used in the finderscope bracket were broken, but that could have happened when the courier dropped the end of it right outside my door, they are easily replaced.
I went over it and tightened up the focuser adjustment screws, but I will need to check the focuser alignment with my laser and check the collimation as well. It is clean internally, and no imperfections in the objective or the rear lens Petzval group.
I have attached some photos. Hope it clears up this evening so I can do a visual star test to check it out.
