I think he has a right to be ticked off after spending $1000. Those cheap scopes are a rip off. I've used 2 of my friends Meade scopes (borrow them) and it's impossible to zero the rickety finders scope to the telescope IN THE DAY TIME! Turning 6 screws, 3 in back and 3 in front to align it. If you ever get it close to zero'd, don't touch it any further. One more attempt to get it closer will have it way off center again. Takes about 30 minutes to align the finder's scope in the day time(well almost aligned). If I had bought those scopes, I'd be ticked off too.
