Yep - exactly the same here. Bought a second hand newt then bought a brand new one. Similar issues and frustrations with both. My coma correctors don't get rid of the blurred corners no matter what spacing I use, collimation is a pain (and my newer scope seems to be incapable of lining up perfectly)... Yeah nah. I might revisit reflectors another time but right now I'd rather do any number of things instead of the constant fiddling and maintenance they require.

What sort of triplet did you get, what sort of targets are you imaging?
