Hi guys... you are wonderful as usual!!!
Thanks a lot for your advices, very informative.
I believe I'm going to try one of the V-block filter for now (saw something cheap from Orion or so). In regarding the focuser, well I need to check again with Bintel or Andrews and see if I can get something locally without order overseas.

Thanks mate

Hi Bob, look... I always wanted to get a large chinese refractor even considering the attractive price. My expectations were of course not such great but I have to say that this scope is fantastic! Images are really sharp and the contrast is very very good. Planets like Jupiter or Mars are a pleasure when in the eyepiece and large objects as some of the extend nebulas can be seen without issues... double stars are great, with Moon I've pushed till 340X with no problem. Of course it is not perfect (focuser and included diagonal are not great quaility and needs to be replaced) and you will be a bit disappointed with colours fringing if you already own an APO.
However those kind of scopes are really generous in performances, easy to set and their huge aperture it is a strong vantage.
Hope this helps
