Hi ,
I think the comments are unreasonably mischivious ones based on the photograph alone. These would have been worth considering after the author had tried out the scope.
Does anyone expect GSO to be so naive to fix the screws on the carbon fiber alone with out adequate cushioning?.
Where else one would anchor the mounting bar?? On the Carbon fibre shell (sic!)???.
Is not there many scopes out there ( SCTs )which does not have collimating arrangements at primary???.

Of course one must try out a telescope before speaking. But if i see
mistakes on the photos, even at a low price i wont shell out my own
money, not even if it costs 1000$.
A well-made carbon instrument has a carbon bridge between its ends,
that has also the role of thermal junction. Look at the best
constructors or ask a composite material engineer. No it should not be
on the carbon fiber cell, the carbon used is very thin and would
deform under its weight, we already have on the market some telescopes
that adopted that solution, and the tube, which is thin, ovalizes.
Anyone who uses carbon is well aware that screws are not to be used
like that.
It is true that the secondary collimation is a problem in commercial
SCT with their plastic supports and secondary mirrors glued into
place. I hope GSO did not follow that path, because a serious
telescope is to be constructed differently.
