Hi everyone , I need advice.
I just bought a new c8 from science centre but the ota has got some stain on the inside surface of the front collector glass. Has got it replaced by the shop but the second unit has the same stain but less.
Is this normal? Should I go back and have it change again? Help anyone

How bad is it? Perhaps take a pic and let us see?
Most of the time it will not affect the optical quality unless its quite severe but seeing that its new, there's no harm done in bringing it back to the shop and asking them to fix it for you

The shop had replaced the OTA for me since...
