Cracked Primary Mirror in new 254mm F4
Hi Everyone,

I have just purchased a Skywatcher 254mm F4 CF telescope and I have discovered there is a crack in the primary mirror. I have attached pictures to show the crack which is along the side of the mirror. I haven't pulled it out of the mirror cell as you can see.

My question : Is this a return job or does this sort of thing happen on ocassions and they glue it and all is OK?

Would appreciate your comments
Regards,
Lucas
