Today we have deferred this to outside our shores. Worse still, we shout down anyone who dares offer an alternative. I for one insist on using as much Australian know-how and products as possible in what I create and offer.

Note quite right there Alex. The process Matt is using on his scope has never been used outside of Australia. It was previously used on 2 large aperture telescopes in Australia about 4 years ago with excellent results.
Your not exploring new alternatives using 4552-90 Alex. I used it on a 10" telescope 14 years ago. 14 years ago I realised there were better choices and nothing has happened in the intervening 14 years that would cause me to change my opinion.
