Hi all! I recently purchased a Hardin DSH-8 to replace my Coulter 10-inch that did very poorly on the star test--the image was fair on one side of focus, very rough on the other. My Hardin shows an excellent image on one side, but somewhat rough on the other, although better than the Coulter. Can a poor eyepiece or poor seeing cause this? (I wouldn't think they would affect one side of focus and not the other, but I don't really know.) I know that no inexpensive dob is perfect, but I'd just like to know if mine is up-to-par. How does everyone else's look? Thanks for any help you can give!-Paul M. :S

Just for the record, Owl Services sells GSO eyepiecs from their website and over the phone, not just on ebay, and the GSO eyepieces are also available from other sources. Very good eps for the money.
