>There was one major flaw when it first arrived that does need mentioning here for would be “newbiesâ€. Upon first light the images were severely degraded and a quick star test showed the problem immediately. The primary mirror clips were tightened to the point of causing the mirror to deform. The resulting image showed a somewhat “triangular†star pattern near focus (three clips are used on the mirror). I removed the primary cell and loosened the clips and recollminated the optics. The next night under the stars was a completely different experience. Star images were textbook!!!! This little scope was a surprise!!!! I've just bought the same scope and I think I have the same problem! I haven't yet started to recollimate it - any tips?
