Yep, can't complain about Bintel.

TNT screwed my order up though, but it did finally get here... after they dropped it, kicked it, and played football with it. Paid for Overnight, waited 2 days Sydney to just north of Brisbane (claimed there was a line strike or some crap). Reckon the extra time was for penalty kicks and scrums with the package.

Me too - not up on computer jingoism.

;) Started with an old 'Old New Stuff " Saxon 127/1140mm ota that I got here at IIS for $150 minus its lense , very well made , by the Canadian scope maker Antaries I think , full 130mm tube with great baffling and a Vixen 1, 1/4 inch focuser thats on par with my Tak's focusers , nice ,,,, and away its gone , from there .
One word of caution , Istar only deal using Paypal . :help:.
Not a problem if you have an account with them .
Their communation has been very good , I will keep you involved Mort , as it progres's via PM's ok mate .
Yea Bintel have been very helpful .:thumbsup: .

Kudos is spelt Kudos, I'm a kiwi and I don't spell kudos as kodos ...

And it ain't 'spelleded' either.
