I get my replacement 180mm Mak tomorrow. The one I bought had some black paint flakes on secondary mirror and neither I nor the dealer wanted to try to take it apart to clean it. I suspect it may have had a heavy knock in transportation. I got it for $1,430 .... great deal and from what I saw very promising scope ..... great contrast and flat field view. Can't wait to pick up my new one and have some clear skies here in the West.
