Paul you covered the questions well and they are a great scope . aint they ? .
Barry , I got this one 2nd hand , brand new from a fellow IIS'r for $150 , yes a steal .
Laurie , thanks mate .
Stefan , I found that my scope has basically zero image shift , its a good one and there are lots of good sites on the web detailing how to improve the standard focusing mechanism , its not a big job , but as I say mine is a very nice OTA .
