Well I had to take it appart, but I did not expect it to fall to pieces, look at the baffles, they all fell out :-)

That's pretty poor. Is that a scratch on your secondary?

No spiders, it wiped off, do you like the paint flecks on the primary :-)


MarkS


What?  Paint flecks?!?! 

Did it come with paint flecks? 
Or were the spiders walking around inside with paint on their feet?

Well, it's no Tak but I'd have expected it to stay together.  Paint flecks are probably due to the baffles moving around, pretty crap really.

Can't you send it back ? I think Olly had one that really £$^^ed him off and was going to send back to Altair astro; I assume yours is the same construction.



Rocket Pooch

I'm going to drop AltairAstro a nice note saying it was me pissing around with one at Olly's and see what they say.
