Doesn't Celestron have a service agent in Australia who could pull the corrector out and check the index marks? This is a very simple and quick proceedure for someone who is practiced at doing it, well worth it for Celestron to ease the minds of forum members who may be considering a purchase. I've seen enough bad reports on Meade and Celestron recently that I wouldn't purchase either right now without going through a dealer who would check the instrument up front.
