Yep, bad astigmatism from the secondary, sloppy focuser, focuser broken on arrival, cooling fan plug unassembled on arrival and the Robo Focus was even faulty and had to be replaced.........all before I even did a proper image.

They didn't even bother to star test my scope before shipping

Ah sigh.........live and learn as they say
