Well I looked at the department store barska scope I have, it is 7 years old and has failing coating (expected) but does not have the streak affect. I will call Bintel tomorrow from St Arnaud. I am sure they will be accommodating as all I have heard is good things about them from these forums. I have been reading about how GSO use the consumer as the quality control rather than their own QC. Just unlucky I guess.

I will post the out come of this issue.

Cheers Malcolm, I am sure you are right about the performance, it will be a big improvement over my dep store scope (on borrow).

I have been excitingly following C/2012 F6 easily with the 12x60s since it entered the Crux and am loving this hobby.
