Can anyone tell me , what they think of this?
I purchased a Guan Sheng GS-530 8" OTA from Andrews ############## before xmass , when I inspected the telescope after unpacking it , i found two light scape marks on the primary mirror + it was very dirty or oily and the screws holding the finderscope base had been over tighted and had deformed the tube a little , i emailed pics of the mirror and base, than called them by phone later , they got me to send the scope back so they could have a look at it over the weekend.
I called them on the Monday and they said they had repaired / polished the mirror and was sending the scope back.
When i got it back and looked at the mirror it was better but i can still see the marks and it looks like they didnt even remove the mirror from the carrier to do the job and there are swirl marks like a badly cleaned mirror.
I have sent them an email saying i am not happy with what they have done and to send me a new mirror assy , they are still closed for xmass but will be reopening on Monday .
I am new to astronomy, but i have had 3 scopes , the first one was a dick smith special , than a SKYWATCHER 150 , now the Gaun Sheng.
Are the trying to rip me off ?
