This post is about a month after the AVX was returned from repair. I left off my last post saying I was fuming at Celestron. Kudos to Celestron for fixing my AVX two weeks faster than expected.
OTOH, I was not notified by email that the AVX had been shipped. It arrived on my doorstep a day after I returned from a month long trip no signature required. What if I was still away? Theft of shipped goods from peoples' doorsteps have become a common crime.
Also annoying is I emailed the Celestron contact about what was the nature of the failure and if there was anything a user could do to prevent it repeating. I got no response. That said I greatly appreciate the expeditious way Celestron handled the repair.
