Friday I received my replacement structure for my 10" scope from Astro Sky. This is the new version for the 10" f/6 that I helped to bring about.
The scope is very well built, with excellent fit and finish. The craftsmanship is well above average. I am very pleased with it and I found the improvements we discussed have all been implemented and work nicely.
This scope is very improved over the first generation f/6 scope that I received last August. It is on par or better with any scope I have seen that was not 2x the cost or more.
It is not ready to use yet as I have to put the optics in and install the custom 4 vane curved spider that I had made by Destiny 1800. When it is ready I will do a full review.
I must say that the scope looks better than I would have expected for the cost. It is as nice as others that I had considered purchasing. I am now quite happy that I made the purchase.
More news later. grin

Hey Floyd, that's good news! Hope to see it soon.
So, some poor guy is going to have to make do
with that "first generation" structure.
My condolences to him. wink

Floyd,

Congratulations! I hope it performs to your satisfaction.

When I received my scope, I think I benefited from some of your improvements. I'm still having a great time with my Astrosky.
