Floyd Blue shares his experiences on the Astro Sky 10" f/6 telescope via Astromart.com. 'This scope was delivered and returned by a customer because they were not happy with the structure due to issues with the finish and other items not listed. When returned it was damaged in transport, which required some disassembly and replacement of panels before it was shipped to me. I did not send the optics so the scope was not tested before it was shipped. I agreed to accept the scope as the replacement for an earlier version of the 10” f/6 structure. This was an agreement between Astro Sky and myself that rectified some problems with the original structure that had to do with weight and balance issues and the structure needed modification to make the f/6 work properly. It was built in December of 2005 and was not painted with the new system and the plywood and materials were not the same, as the new scopes will use for the structure. So it is possibly not quite as good as the new ones will be.'
