Sure Alex I understand. My previous experience with a GSO RC08 was not a good one, and as indicated it appears the focuser on the CC is identical to the RC, hence my seeking owners to comment. I don't mind a bit of tinkering but I am not going to get as involved as Paul H did in fixing up his GSO RC. My main concern, as outlined by the CN thread on this scope,
https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/6...al-cassegrain/
is the focuser tilt issue that carries over from the RC and cannot be fixed properly without remachining (But can be worked around with the focuser collimation ring which is an optional extra of course). But the focuser alignment potentially needs readjusting whenever you dial the focuser in or out. I used to watch my laser dot wander away from the secondary centre spot on my RC as the focuser was racked in or out of the original setup point.
I would love to try out the GSO 10" truss Cassegrain but i doubt they would let me buy on approval.
Sort of sounds like I have talked myself out of it.
