Apparently, the TSRCKOLLI is no longer available due to the war in the Ukraine.

The REEGO was sent as an alternative replacement - without any consultation with myself - this being the only problem, apart from the considerable difference in price.

It's like ordering a Porsche and being delivered a Lada - the REEGO is not a good unit in my opinion. The reason given was that the ordering system is largely automated - seems AI has come a long way then, if a computer can place a collimator in an obviously marked zip lock bag.

And yes, the very reason I dealt with TS was due to their reputation - I just wish that they had simply explained the above and asked if it was acceptable prior to despatch halfway around the world.

I'll probably donate the REEGO to an astro club - can't stand to look at the wretched thing.

Ah well..............
