They're legit. They would all buy from Tasco as Tasco is the main wholesaler in Australia for these scopes. Just because they are not listed under the main Skywatcher advert doesn't mean they aren't legit, they're just much smaller fish than the bigger companies that do get listed. So relax and purchase with confidence where ever you like. As for warrantees, I would be considering the service record of the shop, that seems to be more important to getting the service you would expect and/or prefer.
Lots of things go on behind the scenes with these businesses that the regular joe on the street might not be aware of, so don't be quick to jump to conclusions. I've been there, I know!
