Andrews is $1699 but no stock until May 2022

I’d suggest people buy mounts now….

Yes, inflation is with us (but don't tell the Reserve Bank).

Just realised the saxon heq5 (which is the one I bought) is $1599 from Bintel. So only $50 dearer. BUT the skywatcher version IS $1999. So $400 dearer for the exact same mount.
Buy the Saxon

It was the same when I bought my Orion Atlas AZEQ6 clone. Painted black instead of white and hundreds of dollars cheaper than the AZEQ6.
