Hi Josh,
Can you post a pic of the corrector directly front on. The first image above looks like something is still on the corrector.
Thanks
PeterM.

Hi Joshua, I see some marks on the corrector plate, what has caused them? In this condition I would offer you $2400 and take the risk.

[Joshua Bunn]

Yes certainly Peter, i will put them up wednesday night.



Hugh, There are some marks that show when the corector has dew on it, otherwise they dont show. I dont know what causes them, I have been very careful where i use the scope. what photo are you refering to?

[ubique]

I was referring to photo 1 and 4 and the bluish marks that appear to be in the coatings. I assume if it was just a surface mark you would have cleaned it off before you took the photos. Are there other marks apart from the ones I mentioned that appear when there is dew on the corrector?
