However, you should be aware that we only have one of these OTAs in stock and it seems as though either the tube length is wrong or the mirror cell is incorrectly located.
We discovered this when we sold the second last piece from our stock to a customer who reported that he was unable to reach focus with his camera.
We offered this customer a partial refund, which he accepted and kept the OTA.
Unfortunately, the last piece of this model we have in stock has the same problem, so you would not be able to focus a camera with this telescope at prime focus (our website will be updated to reflect this issue soon)."

oh snap, didnt know it was a recurring problem, i thought i was the only one affected by the mismanufacturing.
