They are the same telescope, just has a Bintel sticker on it. All made in Taiwan

They are sold under many names like: GS, GSO, Guan Sheng, Bintel, Southern Cross, Harding etc. It's only the sticker on them that differs, and sometimes the paint colour. They are all made by Guan Sheng.

You'll find the same with many scopes like the ED80's for example: Saxon, Orion, Skywatcher etc, all the same scope in different paint colours.

Werribee puts you about 1/2 an hour closer than most that come up here but I know what you mean about the city moving in on you. I lived at Hoppers Crossing for a while over 20 years ago. It was bushy with some new estates. Now it's an outer suburb!!!!!
