Anything else I should know? Should I insist on an unopened box? Anything I should check for? Warranties, etc?
Also, I know I need a collimator - can you recommend one from their list? http://www.yorkoptical.com.au/Produc...%2cProductName
I had my heart set on the GSO laser collimator ( http://www.agenaastro.com/GSO-Newton...alc-gs-nla.htm) which is being sold for $59 by Andrews - who only open back up on January 12! Should I wait, or should I go for the Saxon branded one that York is selling?
Also, Barlows: any recommendation? Anything I should get from York? I'd like to get only good quality pieces that'll last a while.
Cheers
