Que??

I have seen PST's that have been absolute rubbish..didn't even come close on on-band, coatings going milky after just a few months, etc. Yet some, have been remarkable. Such is the nature of mass production it seems.

Would I be happy with a $2500 solar scope? Maybe..

Then again. Probably not... I had to spend about 4x that.... just for the filters....before I got a system that met the specifications, rather than price, I was looking for. Horses for courses I guess
