I am sitting ready to pull the trigger, but the threads on the Astromart Forums certainly are making me nervous, with most suggesting that a true apo this isn't. There is the stigma of being from China, as well as the eternal "you get what you pay for", and while I can see good and bad in both, it is a decent jump to find it isn't as good as we all expect. Mind you, it could quite easily be better than we expect.
Your question is aimed at my worldly (debatable) experience, or are you wanting to co-op with me??
Gary,

your experience as a refractor nut is sought, as for the co-op your a wee bit too far away for that, but i do know Photoncollector is keen to have a stab with me on this. knowing that we can pay via paypal is a nice step in the right direction, and the fact shipping is offered for within a week from payment...... but it promises soooo much................
