I had and really liked mine for a few years a few years ago and found the paper work that comes with these is at best ,,?? is as good as the instructions that come with the " Department Store 765x 60mm refractor on HD mount "

So like me if you were buying this scope you knew all about 675x refractor's

These scopes are a bone of contention with refractorholic's some like me got a really good scope optically but its focuser was HORRIBLE !!!! ( I put a $950 FT on mine because of those sweet FPL53 triplet optics ,,, )( QC my end ) .

Others got rubbish optics and perfect focusers "Lewis" you got your your ears on ? ,, get my drift QC was ( is ? ) lacking .

On the finder mounting ,, yes now you are talking !! , different yes , but functional and solid ? the best I have ever used ,,, shame the 675x manual lost this page ( I have one mounted on my 5 inch iStar ) .

All I will add is , is if you got a good one awesome because these are amongst the best 5 inch scopes ever made but dirty old QC ???? lets you down every time ,,, yes it's expensive , but its part of the cost of the telescope ( 80% min ) .


Enjoy your scope as the universe in a 5 incher , well it start's here .

ps. gamble responsibly
