one thing I will say - it was nicely packed and was in two cartons, one inside the other, the scope was wrapped as too every other piece. that may be the difference between the bog standard scope and one spec-ed up for myastroshop Allan, and yes they look remarkably like Meade series 4000 - LOl i have a 15mm and 26mm Meade EP looking at their chinese cousins

Hot damn it looks good! Like everyone else waiting to see how this scope performs. If it lives up to expectations it be a hot seller!

Damn, a spending frenzy and I'm out in the cold. Dave, if you need an alibi you can say I loaned it to you, after all it's the least I could do after you loaned me an Eq6....

I'm absolutley hanging out to see some photos taken with these scopes to compare with those taken with mine. Perhaps we could do photos of the same object with the same equipment to make a direct comparison.
