Patrick, I have 3 of the "other" brand and they all work great. Of course, being in the next room, I'm sure they feel the foundation shake and smell the gunpowder everytime I test fire a weapon, so maybe they are just behaving themselves... ;)
Now, Guy, I wasn't just referring to _that_ brand (funny how most everyone knows which brand we're talking about). In fact we also had our share of problems with Tasco (yes, I hate to admit it but for a mercifully short time someone had the "great" idea to try selling Tascos). And it's hard to forget the day a box of Edmund "Cherry Bombs" arrived with all of the secondary mirrors rolling around inside the tubes. But I stand by my statement that during all my years there I never had to return a single Celestron for repair. Patrick (running for cover) p.s. Care to bring those "other" scopes to SPOC tonight for the Messier marathon? Just be sure and bring the cat box you suggested for under the Big Scope viewing position...
