Thanks

Can you or someone elaborate on the comment about fluorite glass deteriorating over time? How serious would that sort of problem be?

Also, another question, from some other photos I have seen of the same scope type, it seems to be the original mount that originally came with the scope??

But, as the ad stated, only the OTA is being offered, but not the mount, so I guess that also makes the question asked about the weight of the mount irrelevant.
