Just for information, I have received a report from Takahashi stating that my telescope was basically almost trashed by this mob in Australia, and required almost a complete re-build. Collimation was totally out, lens cell had been removed incorrectely and caused damage to internal paintwork and edge coating on lenses. They had to do some re painting and totally re-build the cell setup. Basically they said that whoever had been working on the telescope had no idea what they were doing. Oh yeah and I got a bill for an extra $710.00 for their additional work over and above what I paid them to get it there and their original quote for re-collimating. I have rung the Australian Distributor and advised him of this company's shoddy work and not to recommend them to do work on Tak equipment, and he was rather amazed. The report from the Takahashi factory paints a sad picture of the damage caused by these cretins. Luckily it is now all fixed and they will send it back when I pay the balance. Should have sent it there in the 1st place. 20/20 vision hey!!
