Well, just got my C-5 Classic back from Celestron. Had to have the corrector replaced (shattered!). After contacting them I finally got a return authorisaton number (that took almost 2 months to get!), and sent it to them in October. Didn't hear from them untill December wanting my payment. Est. time for repair was 3 to 4 months(sometime around March) "We'll send you an Email with the tracking number when it's ready to be shipped" Just for the heck of it, I decided to check the statis of my repair ticket on the web site. There, in the upper left corner, in tiny print, was a tracking number! click on it, and it's scheduled for delivery that day! I make a note to put on the door for the UPS man to knock hard,as the door bell is broken. Open the door and see the UPS man driving away and a "Unable to deliver" notice stuck on the door. I swear, this guy just knocks and runs! Anyway, it came yesterday, and in great shape. I now have a new corrector with the XLT coatings, fresh factory collimation job and a either a new, or recoated primary and secondary. Haven't had a chance to get it out yet, but I am chomping at the bit waiting! Total for the corrector, D&C, mirrors, shipping and insh. was $225. Not bad considering the price of a new one.
Thanks Celestron!
