Unboxing pictures ...OR
Ok.. I log stuff... a lot of you guys do to.
.
So , Digital , I can always delete the pictures I don't want , ...Light , angle , whatever , I eventually edit.
.
So instead of UNboxing pictures , they were more about poor packing , product "Shift" (first clue)
Parts not in their place , (second clue)
Hmmm, Just not NEW
This was from Amazon ,
I'm thinking of trying B&H
.
Still gotta drop this off first , and finish the refund.
.
Did I just hear of a problem like this with B&H too ?
.
I don't want to see two layers of tape on this next one.
.
In these pictures , the part that is missing from the packing...Is on the scope.

Re: Unboxing pictures ...OR
I was an Amazon fan from a long time ago. I still am, but recently decided not to purchase “major” items from them. I simply don’t trust them anymore.
I’ve had similar experiences as you, but nowhere near the cost as your scope (or should I say “their” scope). I’ve found that you can get similar pricing elsewhere (like B&H) from a quality vendor with good credentials. They are as easy as it gets to return items though, but other companies are getting pretty close. Piece of mind!
I bought mine directly from Explore Scientific in 2016. Great customer service and good dealing with a sales rep on the phone. I don’t know if that avenue is still available, but I highly recommend.
Whenever you do get the scope, I’m sure that you will enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine. I must admit though, since I bought the Sharpstar 61 last year, it is my scope of choice for
Good luck with your pursuit! Keep us posted!

I haven't had any problem with B&H... Usually they ship fast.
I think Amazon "Dirties" shipping if you're not a Prime Member... Just saying.
.
The scope will be re ordered once the refund stuff is complete,
Meanwhile , tomorrow my Starsense Alien is coming.
The computer will start to be part of the telescope .
I should start finding some targets soon... even with a paper towel roll on the mount.
( Or the 6" Orion )
