Well,
finally! I've been advised that my Officina Stellare RC360 Pro will ship from Italy within the week. I had to wait an extra 2 months, so I'm counting on the wait being worth it!
It's certainly clear though that if you want one of their large scopes you'll have to be patient.
Realistically, it's another 3 weeks away at least - transit time, customs clearance and then a trip down to Melbourne to pick it up from Cris at Astronomy Alive. There's no way I'm going to subject it to local couriers.
Anyhow, a few people have asked so there's the update. Stay tuned, I'll be reviewing the whole experience thoroughly, after it arrives, in a new thread.
Cheers, Marcus
