I had the same prob with my new dob. The retailer was very helpful and replaced it for me. Anything you buy new should be designed to operate perfectly {or near it} for quite a long time. Nothing should begin rusting on a scope for along time as they are used at night and spend most of that time covered in dew. You would assume that they would be designed with this in mind, but ive come across a few that didnt seem to be. Anyway, ice is right, it dosnt affect performance, but it still shouldnt happen
