Focuser sucked though! Funny thing is, shipping only cost $50us from Hong Kong to central Canada and I got it in the same week I paid for it! I only had to chew my fingernails for 4-1/2 days!
What I'd like to know is, how did you guys pay for your scopes? At least with Paypal, I had a customer service hotline I could call and some measure of fraud protection. I'd have a real hard time sending a $1100 bank draft to China! And isn't $200 shipping a lot??

payed with paypal but you will wait a while for the scope to be delivered
