Sidereal trading seems to sell them, only place I know of in Australia.
Otherwise you can import from USA (BandH seem to be cheapest for shipping), but import costs is roughly about the same as what Sidereal are selling it for.

Everyone has it on backorder though with no ETA. So don't expect to receive it anytime soon.


I am still not sure on the CEM60.
Putting aside iOptron's past, feature wise, all looks good. But pricing seems high.
Mount + TriPier will set you back $5149 AU.
This is EQ8 territory, or Losmandy G11 (sort of...).


EQ8 - more capacity, bulkier though, and may not have the build quality of the CEM60. Lacking some features (GPS).

G11 - Expensive, but quality build and same capacity.


Decisions decisions.


-edit-
No stock anywhere. Apparently component supply problems and iOptron are focusing on the CEM40 (as per a CN thread).
Been a month so far.
