Congratulations Rod....I'm not in the least bit jealous
I haven't really considered any of these big dobs, but having looked through some of the websites of the big American companies, it's certainly got me interested.
I see SDM only make 18" as their smallest size. Does anyone know of any manufacturers in Australia making truss dobs in the 14" - 16" range? I tried googling, and searching here, but couldn't find anything.
Sometime down the road I could be interested. Has anyone ever ordered a large scope from overseas? I just find it hard to imagine the cost after transerring to Aussie dollars, then adding shipping, GST, customs etc. Will make a very expensive scope out of range for most people. Shame really, cause they look very nice.
Anyway, well done Rod. And great to hear about the excellent service you are receiving too.
