Hard to say. Mine is an Evostar ED80 and is badged accordingly. The one you point to is not. So I can’t say one way or the other.

This might help answer the question (https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=164640)
Never heard of digidirect till now

[pmrid]

Nor I. It is possibly a grey-import of course. It would be interesting to know - particularly if there was any question about service and warranty.

Digidirect are probably one of the biggest camera retailers in Australia. I visit there Melbourne city store whenever I'm in town.

They are most definitely not grey market importers.

Anyway, the 'Evostar' is a newer model.

Thanks for that reassurance. Good to know.

I’m dropping the ante on this scope down to $800. That’s it though.

[pmrid]

OK. Heaps of lookers but no takers. A puzzle indeed but it needs to be gone, so I will make a further and final reduction to $750 plus post/shipping.

Remember FOMO.
