I'm with you, it's definitely a great refractor for the price.

On axis focused well, I would have a hard time identifying color at all off
the moon at high powers. The crayford focuser is *much* better than the
crappy r&p focusers they put on the rest of their scopes. I did have to
file down the flatspot on the focuser tube in order to handle naglers
though. I think this is a common problem, that the flat part of the tube
for the crayford is not flat, it's a hole.

Well, I'm surprised at this scope. It's airy disc image
and colour correction appear to be better than my former
TV-85 and just shy of the quality of my Tak FS-78. I'm
amazed that they've been able to produce such a decent
product for $500.
