Ok I will check with bankwest tomorrow at lunch time in person to see wether they can help me,the transaction wasnt to far off so hopefully should be good..Can bankwest just take the money out of their bank account and put it back into mine ?
They just reverse it electronically , to all intents and purposes you get your money back.

They then recover or write it off behind the scenes - no longer your problem by then.

Ian a few links for good lenses to buy?
see links and drill down there are stacks of eyepieces and barlows and whatnots. Ranging from cheap as chips to mortgage your wife-kids-mum-dad and home to buy types.

They are universal right?
if you have a 2" focusor it will accept all 1.25" and 2" accessories.
If you have a 1.25" focusor - all 1.25" accessories fit.

I went into DS on my lunch brake and something i dont understand it says the focal lenth is 1000mm which would be 100cm in length...but it isnt even that long..its shorten then mine and mine is 900mm..how does that work out?By the way..The quality is heaps better on the celestron one.
I hope to push DS with the price a bit..and if so wether i can spend that money into some lenses.

But good ones that are worth it.
That's because the light travels down to the parabolic main mirror gets reflected in a focused beam to the secondary (teh elliptical shaped flat mirror) and then out through the focusor . see picture .... that's why the tube is shorter than the 1000mm focal length. see picture attached
