Hi Andrew,
I bought the same one and unfortunately its a fizzer. Dunno, maybe I just got a bad one out of 100 who knows. But knowing what I know now I should have just bought it locally, either thru AOE or Andrews Comms. At least if you buy it locally, you should get some form of warranty, even 3 months.
I think I paid $35 all up, if I had paid more I would have been very annoyed, however the return policy didn't justify sending it back.
The problem with mine is that it comes on, then switches off. I need to partially unscrew the damn thing, jiggle it, hoping it comes back on again, then slowly tightening it again. This could go on all night!
I've given up and will actually buy a new one but locally. They're great for showing people the night sky, but do use them wisely.
Good luck!
