I'll repeat again, I wasnt having a go at you, It was meant to be sarcasm. In hindsight, reading my post back it sounded like I was bitter.
Anyway, I havnt had much chance to use it, as Ive been busy modifying my dob base, but it seems ok.
I used to own a GSO 2" barlow, and have to say that it is on par or slightly better than that one.
The weather looks good over the next couple days so I will give it a good workout and keep you updated!
