Problems with RC-8 optics?
Has anyone else experienced problems with the optics of a GSO RC-8 telescope (carbon-fibre tube model)?
I bought one new, the optics were horrible. Despite repeated careful attempts to collimate it (following the prescribed collimation process) I was unable to get even an acceptable image. We are not talking about some small degree of aberration at the edge of the FoV but misshapen star images indicative of gross collimation problems or misconfigured optical components.
The telescope was simply unusable so I've returned it to the supplier but wanted to 'poll' others to see if I've been unlucky or if there are frequent problems with these telescopes?
