He and all the team there are great...I was speaking to Lee today and he is just such a nice bloke, really helpful...I was discussing a mount and all he was trying to do was save me money...Luke is to email me next week but if he doesn't I expect that he is just run off his feet so I will understand and ring him.
Lee was saying business has increased and we guess it is because of the virus with folk realising money spent on astronomy makes more sense than eating out...so please do not deny yourself the opportunity of great prices and fabulous back up because of a non reply...trust me...when I was in business it got to the stage where there were so many people after me I could not return calls ..it is a good sign not a bad one...Lee and his team really deserve our support cause without them where do you think prices would be.

I'm not prepared to wait 6-8 weeks on backorder when I can order direct and get a shedload cheaper. Case in point it's a 2 month wait for an asiair pro at bintel for $599 I can order one from asi direct with postage and it is $180 cheaper even after the exchange and the wait is 3 weeks. Why be held to ransom? I can understand on big ticket items like a mount then definitely local. But smaller items definitely shop around.
