Hi William
I have had one for quite a number of months.........
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=168486
At the time when I picked it up, I ensured to pick it up in person from the retailer to ensure all was in good condition.
In terms of performance..... WOW!! Certainly my sample exhibits an excellent star test. I regularly cruise along the lunar terminator with my Pentax XW 5mm with a 2.5x Powermate (600x), obviously in good seeing, and sometimes even whack in the 3.5 XW with the Powermate.
I am extremely impressed with this scope. Very minimal CA, if any at all, present on the moon or brighter stars.
From a mechanical perspective, do not seem to have any issues. The stock focuser has no issues with a 2 inch Baader diagonal and 31mm Nagler.
Hope this helps
Cheers
