The range of Equinoxs is available now in N.Z. and are 'reasonably' priced.The Equinoxs are the top of the range Synta versions with dual speed 360 degree adjustable Crayford focuser and upgraded assembly and finish. They come in the black gloss paint [ fingerprints !]. The Equinox ED80 is $A1000 and the ED120 at $A3450 - which seems especially inexpensive compared to the 'basic' Orion ED120 which is listed at Bintel at $A4700.[I am not associated to any scope maker in anyway- just for your info.]
