A very versatile guidescope

I received this little guider and was amazed by how versatile it is! It can be a finder (by pluggin in a 90º prism and eyepiece) and a guider. The build quality is excepcional, all metal. The lens have a very nice antireflex coating and there is a baffle inside for cutting down stray light. The equipment arrived in Brazil in perfect conditions, the packaging is made of some kind of foam, with cutouts for the dovetail, rings, guider and screws. The plastic pointed screws are a nice touch, so it will not scratch the guider tube. The images are very crisp and I had no problems in guiding my 8" GSO RC at 1610mm of focal distance with this guider. I can recommend it.
