Certainly cheap enough, and even adding in the import costs is still under $2600 AUS - not too bad for a 115 triplet. Seems nothing on the market here around that price point for a triplet.
Interesting that TE don't mention anywhere the type of element used - no mention of FPL, ED, or Fluorite anywhere. I have emailed Wolfi to ask. I have also noted Altair Astro now sells them rebadged to them as well.
Might suggest it to Ron at Sirius Optics - he's now bringing in the "Meade" North Group scopes too, at a VERY reasonable price.
Got a tax cheque coming back soon - though I have earmarked that for a Takahashi FC-100DF :)
