Steffen,
Great info. Yes, the one I got - the mirror also looked dusty, but I had no real time to do anything about it. My niece came over yesterday and was delighted to receive her early Christmas present. They were going overseas for Christmas hence the early opening. After my brother's family comes back, they will have some time to play with it, and since it is very portable, it would be easy to bring it over for me to look at if they encounter any problems.
Now, I need to give some thought to making a 3" mirror cell to suit either this scope or the other Tasco that I have, which appears to have a primary mirror misalignment.
-John
P.S. My niece mentioned there is no finder scope - the Tasco had one, however with the 20mm low power eyepiece, the scope ends up at 18x so maybe that is why there is no finder scope.
