When it is here, I want to take a look. Let me know if you are doing observation with it.

Thanks bro. BTW, it's a good deal. I am sure those little issues on the mirror is not going to affect anything. Make sure you keep this scope in Spore if you ever decide to sell it one day. It's a gem!

The owner guaranteed the few white spots are not fungus (phew!)
Worst case I can always recoat the primary mirror for $50. This scope is usually sold between US$1500 to US$2000 in Astromart.

wow, thats a great price you can't go wrong with. except that I thought the 66 was already quite a monster, the 76, well, you have a DX mount right?

Watch out for the balance point. It is higher than a normal dob bcos of the front corrector plate.
