After collimating a friend's with Catseye collimation tools, I went back during the evening to look at the scope. Truly excellent optics--the equal of some premium scopes I'd looked through.
Add a Paracorr, and his scope was good enough to justify rebuilding with first class materials. It owed nothing to the premium mirror crowd.
I was, to say the least, surprised.
I don't know if it was typical, but I would expect a primary mirror of that quality to cost more than his complete scope.
A true bargain, I think.
Now the mechanicals? Well, let's just say the telescope is made to a price.
