Very interesting pictures here.
From what I can see, I agree that it does look like doubling is occurring here.

Im on the fence. You need to turn the contrast down a little on your scope. Some pics it appears there is some kind of doubling...some don't. The zoom of Li"bert"y looks alot different than the pic of the entire word Liberty. The whole picture of the word Liberty..I think I see spliting. In the zoom it doesn't look like it....I will refrain from commenting further...wait for the pros or pics with adjusted lighting/contrast

When I get home I will see if I can change the contrast, the lighting is impossible because the scope has 6 led lights built in around the lens

I think we see a combination of Die Deterioration and lighting issues. Better pics might help, but the 82's are famous for fooling people. |

Kman, I have a Celestron 44302 and had to modify the LED's. Read this: My Celestron does not have white balance control it's the same model as yours, I just wanted to know if mine wasn't working for some reason. As for caps;i bought a package of those metal hooks you use on a peg board, they each have a rubber cap on them. I used a black marker to color them in because they were white. You might have to cut the caps a little because they stick down a little too much. As for the LED that I use a filter on, I took one of those eye glasses lens cleaner clothes "the dry ones" not the wet ones, although I guess you could wait till it dries out and I cut a piece about the wigth of the bulb about three or four inches long and wrapped it around an ink pen ink tube then taped it with a piece of frosted tape. Then take it off the tube and pinch one end together and tape it down. Then cut the open end a little at a time until it fits the bulb just right, make sure you cut as straight as possible so you block as much light as you can. There will still be some light coming from around the bulbs but it does help a lot. And you can move the rubber caps and the filter caps as needed. Hope this helps some. John1  |

I definitely wouldn't go getting ahead of yourself. Do you really wanna pay the money and have it come back a normal cent with a grade? If anything Maineman has a good idea.
I am far from an expert but if I had to guess from the pictures provided its a VLDS showing heavy deterioration.
Just my guess/$.02
