Explore Scientific 152mm refractor

[SthBohemia]

Due to reading some posts from member, 'Rusted' I turned to his BLOG site and was astounded by his achievements. Which in turn led me to feel extremely LAZY, thus thought I might be kind to the instrument as mentioned above and baffle the tube! The assumption being that the relatively cheap scope (even cheaper as it was purchased as a 'demo' model which was horribly out of collimation with a childs sticky hand print on the lens) would have either none or at most 2 internal baffles.

Surprise, surprise, 5 internal baffles, which was quite a shock!

Now wondering just how many other refractors within  the low price ranges are properly baffled??
