..?..Where do I start??? I'll just say that after much planning, preperation, pre-purchases and heavy anticipation my ASA N12 (like many other ASA astrographs) was a lemon. It was delivered to me without star testing and sufferd from severe astigmatism coming from the poor method of secondary mounting, there were other systemic problems that I didn't even get the chance to test but I could see I would probably have them too. I returned my scope last year for a refund....it deffinitely wasn't as easy as I just made out and there was plenty of stress involved but at least it is all behind me now
Shame becasue the ASA Astrographs have lots of potential. Wolfgang Promper has been taking some superb images with his ASA N12 but it is a completely different design to the comercial model shipped to everyone!
....Kind of false advertising really
