I'm still on strike as far as buying anything major is concerned , particularly as far as astronomy and camera stuff is concerned .
I'll concentrate on the building a roll-off-roof observing shed , a couple of piers (probably in concrete) , and finishing off my 10" newt OTA rebuild , and maybe picking up a few cheap astro and photo b-n-p's here and at ebay and other places, and that will have to do me for now.
Don't be surprised if places who sell camera stuff and telescopes and accessories have REAL sales before Xmas and in January as you can bet they are hurting as far as sales volumes are concerned , as in not selling much if anything (especially the big ticket items like L lenses, high end scopes and gems, and high end cameras etc).
PS : was checking B&H last night (the rebates are back on Canon L lenses ..... why do we never see these rebates here in Australia BTW, or do the Canon dealers simply pocket it here ??) and noticed an Atlux with dovetail and Starbook and tripod selling there for 5817 USD ==> 9090 aussie lira. Glad I bought mine when I did !!!
