Unfortunately I just sold this to a member here and after he cleaned the lens this was revealed
It does not look good at all and I suppose it is an example of a scope living inside an observatory.
I am giving a refund on the purchase but now wondering what I can do with this? I don't know exactly what the damage is, I guess it looks like the coating has been eaten away at multiple spots all over the objective.
Has anyone had any experience with this sort of thing? I am guessing that sending it back to Tak might be uneconomical.
Any ideas how much this has actually damaged the performance of the scope if I was to try and sell it at a reduced price?
Thanks,
Jason
