hahaha, im not a silly man DSE scopes are the pits! Ill let you in on a secret.!!! I was given it from my mate that obviously didn't understand what was going on. It was so poor on collmination it wasn't funny, but the problem was that he tried to clean the mirror with spray and wipe.! there wen a 1/4 of the already shotty mirror.

So i suffered this for a good 7 months, still looked at Omega cent, jewel box and the like, though views where less than "acceptable". So i will be retro fitting it all with some decent gear and a new mirror and passing the scope along to my uncle.

Saxon is virtially a Sky watcher, or should i say it the other way around, if you can get a Saxon with a Crayford focuser do it. because the Skywatcher only has a R&P. all right but not great. though to get a Crayford style focuser only set you back 130ish
