Saw on CN last night that the American version sold as Astro-Tech is also now being sold with a Feather Touch focuser.
BY comparison, the original sold by Andrews had a GSO Crayford focuser that was a sloppy as a wet mop, wouldn't hold colimation/focus and a baffle tube that caused serious internal reflections - and have completely failed to resond to complaints from me about the scope. I've had to flock the baffles myself and fit a Feather Touch focuser to overcome the deficiencies in the scope. Thankfully the optics are good, just the way it's put together isn't. Perhaps the price reflects declining marketability because of the poor start.
