I guess your right, I just think complaining about a lil rust, is a bit like
complaining to GSO that their mirrors aren't hand figured too. You get what
you pay for. Lets face it some of us cant spend the thousands to get
the top of the line stuff, where things like rust aren't an issue. So be thankful
there are companies like the GSO's SkyWatcher, Saxon's....etc...etc...
willing to bang out gear at a reasonable cost so we all can enjoy the
heavens above.

However, I personally do think it's a lil unlucky to have it rusting so
soon. Mine pretty much did the same. At least it looks like a slow process
on mine anyways.
