Hi Andrew,

I think you should probably give serious consideration to making an offer on one of the 7.5mm Takahashi LE's currently on sale in the classifieds. There are 3 of them advertised there right now, a used one and 2 NIB. I have used the used one that James Pierce is selling and it is in excellent condition and an excellent eyepiece. It's actually his wife Alex's and he stole it off her

Nope. I lived on the Central Coast for 12 years and was a member of the AS of The Hunter for some years, but I moved to Kiama on the South Coast 6 years ago. 4 months ago I moved 20km further South to Shoalhaven Heads. There are some excellent observing sites in the Hunter region and just south of it around Bucketty.

Cheers,
John B
