Thanks Erick, yup down the road, a good 30mins down the road! but I may take you up on that offer. Snake valley sounds interesting, I've had a look at the Snake Valley Astronomical Association website a few nights ago. (along with the other associations in Melbourne)
Acropolite - Thanks, I've been down to York to have a look at their scopes yesterday.
Doing some more research, but can someone confirm my gut feeling that the bintel 8inch dob deal is a better deal than the skywatcher. Details are
Bintel 8inch dob $699 - includes 26mm (2") Fully Multi Coated Eyepiece, 15mm and 9mm Fully Multi Coated Plossl Eyepieces, Moon filter, 8x50 90° Correct Image Finderscope, crayford 10:1
Skywatcher 8inch dob $509 (after 15% off IIS deal) - Rack and Pinion focus system, 2 EP (1.25” Super 25 and 10*)
Thanks,
Surreal
