Sounds like a major misunderstanding there Les!

So apart from being scratched and the tube not rotating once in place, it seems there is nothing else wrong with it.  My skywatcher's don't rotate either, though I could rotate them in the mounting rings if I wanted to, but don't see the lack of rotation as a problem. you can always position it how you want to BEFORE clamping it to the mount

Yeh. IHO this "fault" about it not rotating is a non issue as I already have found I adjust the diagonal to suit. (Especially when it's being shared with a short ass! Lol)

This is true and I'm a bit surprised as I'd not find this too difficult to describe. Alls well that ends well..... Hopefully!

You don't use a diagonal when guiding. Use a tube extension.

Yeh I realise, thats why I was saying the "fault" really isnt an issue.

Picked up the WO66 today from Hereford.

Happy with the purchase.

Scope in case is fine. Eye pieces, thousand island solar filter and ey pieces are good.


Panic over! Lol
