There is a bit of competition in this area.
There is a 130mm triplet I saw at Bintel that would most likely be better as it is a triplet. There are also a number of used Tak FS128 that have been selling rather cheaply on Astromart. There is also the TMB130 SS that are also good value.
But as you point out they are not AUD$1200 more like about AUD$3500 including shipping and GST form Astromart.
If you want to do visual then an Orion Optics UK Mak Cassegrain or Mewlon 210 would be the go.
Greg.
