I now have enough credit to buy my first telescope.
I have a budget of $1,800
including postage/freight to Horsham Victoria.
I am after a Sky-Watcher 12" Black Diamond Dobsonian. Is this one here for $1,499.00 or is this one a cheaper version?

It does look different from the picture on the Sky-Watcher web site.
I am also looking a buy a Laser Collimator if it doesn't blow the budget.
I will wait for a while before I buy a Barlow lens or any filters so I can get quality.
Is there anything else that I need to buy straight off?
I would prefer to buy everything from one shop. It doesn't have to come from Andrews Communications.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Henry.
