James, it all boils down to one fact. There is no company in Australia that can satisfactorily service the optics on Tak refractors. I believed what I was told that the Australian Distributor recommended a company, and in good faith I decided to give them a go. I was wrong and it has cost me. In no way are Takahashi at fault, their equipment is excellent. This particular problem (the initial one) was caused by an accidental blow to the OTA causing collimation to be affected. I should have sent the telescope back to Japan in the first instance. It is there now and with any luck I will have it back by the end of next week. I should not have let amateurs who claim to be professionals tinker with it. If you have any issues with your Tak scopes, don't mess around, send them back to Japan, they are the people who know them best. In the past I have had nothing but excellent service from Takahashi and in this instance they are still 1st class.
