Peter, will we see ASA on your product line in the not too distant future?
It's interesting to note that the user plonked it on a Losmandy Tripod

While I'm sure ASA would take an order from my commercial venture..

...but I don't expect to be snowed under with inquiries any time soon....so it's probably not going to happen.

The reality is in Oz, sell cheap, or sell sporting gear (maybe both )

High end astronomy instruments are for a discerning few....and I'm not taking a swipe at those who are not in a position to drop $15-50K on a system...

You can buy a S-class Benz, or you can buy a "reasonably priced car" . Both will indeed safely get you from A to B.

It's simply a matter of whether that last few (and often costly) percent of engineering excellence matters to you.
