Me too Mark , this is an absolute Bargain !
Not all of us can go out and spend 5-10k on an APO that gives you bragging rights over those ( like me and you , and many others ) that cant afford that much , ( worth more than most people's car's ) so lets stop with the ' BAGGING ! of a great refractor that gives many their first taste of BIG ! ,,,
,,, refractor heaven at a very good price !
.
Jeeze some people just cant help themselves !
. Can they ? .
I feel sorry for any beginner reading this that aspires to a 6 inch refractor and believes that these are rubbish because of a little CA ! BAD ! .
I have one a Saxon version that I have put side by side with an Astrophysic's 152mm f12 ' Starfire Planetary ' and the owner of that scope was gob smacked at how good a $1000 achromat was against his 10k APO ! , yes that's what I payed for mine , OTA only and still have it it's in NZ being used by my Nephew .

It sounds like you got one made on a friday afternoon before a long weekend!
Thank you for your input, I will take it on board.
Cheers,
