Best way to buy an Espirit 150mm

[xelasnave]

After following the zwo direct thread I thought I would ask... Can you go direct to Skywatcher or go thru a retailer in USA or Germany or is it something best sourced thru Bintel?...to buy an Espirit 150 mm.

1. I wouldn’t buy from the US if you paid me to. Too slow, limited stock due to the Sino-Yank economic battles etc. Just DON’T.

2. Never heard of buying from Synta/SW direct but you could ask.

3. Teleskop Express can only use UPS/DHL couriers. You’ll be paying a lot for post and then a big whack in GST on arrival

Why not David’s TOA130 in the trader? World-beating scope (as good /better as AstroPhysics) at a great price, including flattener etc

Yep, David’s TOA130 would be awesome.

The 5 year local warranty is nice to have with Skywatcher mounts and telescopes.

One other option is the Evostar 150ED DX on special at Astro Pete's ($2995 shipped) - they perform well if you're doing narrow band.
