thanks everybody.
Without wanting to impugn the honor of the dealer I bought it from, what I'll say is that the website advertised that they had the black diamond versions of the 8 and 12 inch watchers, but NOT the 10 inch. It was quite clear on the website, and when I spoke to the person I was giving my order to, that the 10 inch was the OLD, white version with basic straight thru finder and rack and pinion focuser. I was a little bit miffed that they weren't stocking the BD in 10 inches, but the price was right. So yeah, I was pretty confused when what I got was not what was described.
I'm hardly disappointed though. I call it an un-looked for bonus! BrisGreg I believe you are referring to the right angle finder (is that what RACI stands for?). When I spoke to the dealer, the one they we discussed stocked a straight thru finder. I'd specifically asked if a 90 degree finder could be sent instead, and they agreed. So I'm not surprised about that.
When it first turned up, I thought perhaps they'd accidentally sent me an 8in BD instead. A quick check of the tube diameter ruled that out. So somehow I wound up with a 10 in BD. Which is what I would have preferred anyway! Lucky me!
Definitely looking forward to getting Saturn in my sights. Wish the clouds would oblige.
