Astronomy Shops In Perth?

[SurferSmyth]

Hi guys
just wondering if there is any Astronomy Shops In Perth now that btow has shut down?

As far as I am aware, only places like Camera House stores which carry limited range. I believe Camera Electronics is planning to carry a larger range of astronomy related products.

I don't expect to see a new one popping up any time soon considering the cost of doing business in this state etc.

Yes. I heard he vanished on not so good terms :shrug:

Astro business is a dead end, not only because of high overheads but the misnicule market too!
Only the bold and the silly dare venture.
The camera market is much bigger.

I even put some feelers out there as a business, died very quickly. Was producing small items at first but not much at all. You have to be well established before you can get anywhere

Camera House Cannington are supposed to be stocking telescopes and accessories, since they were the people that bought out BTOW.
