Omni 102 Refractor

[Atlantia]

Hi,
I'm looking to buy an Omni 102 R as my second scope. A few days ago I went to order one from Andrews Communications in NSW albeit they apparently don't stock them (and never have), even though they are advertised on their site as 'super specials'. Disappointment aside, Im looking to buy one for around the $800 mark, with the mount. Also, I'm open to suggestions if you think a different second scope would be suitable!

Thanks,
Kate:)

:hi: Kate and :welcome: I have almost the exact same telescope and mount, albit about 6 years old. They're ok, but a 10" Dob would give you a better view. However there are skywatcher, orion and other brands that are basically the same setup as the Omni
