Is this part of a wider problem? It's opened the door for other ecosystems, such as iOptron. My delay is affecting a (hobby) research project, but many are no doubt affected. Lift your game, Sky-Watcher! Jim

Try Ryda.com in Sydney. They sell a lot of astronomy stuff even though they are a car radio/Camera shop.


My Mate bought a Star Adventurer Wedge from them recently. I bought a Star adventurer tripod for my Seestar S50 from Testar in Sydney some time ago. Worth looking if he has stock.
