New Scope defect?

Hi all,


Just wondering if I can get an opinion from the more experienced users out there.


I received a new refractor two days ago, just opened it today and saw what looks like a scratch or something on the objective lens .


I want to return it, but is this acceptable in the astro equipment world or am I right to send it back?

I understand that dirt etc on the objective isn't always noticeable in images as it is probably out of focus, but still, its brand new out of the box.

I have two pictures, from the front and from the focuser.
Thanks.
