Ok here is the deal, I've had a few offers thus far. There is one thing that
is concerning me (which I thought Coronado had fixed around 2004, but
apparently not) That is the de-laminating of the objective lens and filter.
This was/is a defect on the part of the manufacturer. And covered under
warranty. This can be easily seen by looking at the outer edge of the
objective and you may notice some mottling. Because of this I'm am
leaning towards a brand new model so I have warranty if such a defect
becomes present. I really dont wont to be shelling out $600.00+ to find
I have this problem and more than likely no recourse for warranty. It's also
why I asked the folks who replied to take photo's of the objective lens.
This needs to be done with the scope pointing directly at a light source
(preferably the sun) with the camera aimed at aprox' 45 degree angle
to the objective filters face.

regards,CS
