Chris, you are right - almost all scopes nowadays are made in China or Taiwan. There is nothing wrong with that except quality control. When something is sold under say Celestron brand they do better QC than when it's sold under Aquila. Again, nothing wrong with that and you can get a high quality Aquila-branded scope, but the chance you get a lemon is slightly higher than when buying the same with Celestron (or in this case of Aquila brand it's Astro-Physics). So they all made on the same factory but big brands just do a bit more QC before placing logos. Items with less QC are sold with smaller brands. That's the reality. Same with eyepieces.
