I don't get this comment.

What, do you intend on leaving it in the elements, 24/7/365? Do that to any telescope, and, it won't last long.

I'm quite happy with the images my ED127 is producing. It's the best telescope I've ever owned. Pinpoint stars across the field, with slight curvature in the bottom right of mine. A flattener will fix it. No vignetting on the 40D. On the full frame 5D Mark II, there is considerable vignetting. Having said that, it's something that critical flats could likely resolve.

Regards,
