Cheers, Darryl.
You're right, if you import just one scope, seafreight, it's possible to avoid GST provided the Aussie stays above about USD0.88. In this case, an individual can get a 'scope cheaper than a reseller who'd bring in more than one!

Not sure if I'd want to form a syndicate, seems it may get a bit complicated dividing viewing time around New Moon period. IIS membership is spread far and wide geographically. It'd be the perfect thing for a small astro club though.

Cheers,

Rob
