[OM] 180mm/f2.8 Zuiko dog

Last week a friend showed me his newly acquired 180mm/f2.8 Zuiko which he
had purchased for just over $300 CDN (~$200US).  From the outside the lens
was like new.  I was envious that I hadn't been in the camera store first.

Last night he showed me some astrophotos he had taken before he took the
lens back to the store.  I have never seen anything like them.  The stars
were football-shaped (astigmatism) and the brighter ones had blue halos
around them (chromatic aberration).  Any ideas as to what is going on?  I
have never even heard of such a bad lens!?
