No BUSHNELL MAKS!! Run the other way!! Very bad scopes. Spend your money on an Orion, or a Meade DS Mak.
You are so correct about the Bushnell. Me and a few others observers watched in horror as one of those thing began to fall apart before our ours. It was so bad we had to shoot it.
Did you at least keep the corrector? It could probably be used in a project with one of those cheap jones-bird newts to make a little Maksutov-Newtonian that could be worth using...
