There are trials and tribulations just about with every scope. my then 4 year old son blew up the mount on my CPC925, thankfully I am an ex tech and was able to diagnose and bodgy it up to get it working again to begin with and once I convinced the Australian dealer that I really did know what I was on about and knew what part I needed, it was only a $40 part anyway.

Spark plugs and celestrons don't mix, not even when one is a space ship and the other a landing platform! I would have expected to see the input stage of a typical buffer chip live through an input short to earth or supply actually, but it did not.
