Hi Shane,
Keep the money in Australia Man!
Check out SDM telescopes from Australia
http://www.sdmtelescopes.com.au/prices.html
You can pick up a "fully loaded" SDM delivered installed and trained from an Australian company who, by all reports provide
exceptional telescopes, service and support for a world class product.
Check them out if you have the BIG DOB fever. Well worth the investment, customised with your own name plate also. A one of a kind telescope is hard to beat.
Cheers
Chris
p.s. if you ask around here, you will no doubt find a number of SDM owners who LOVE their scopes and can give you the low down on the product. I am not affiliated to SDM in any way, just a proud Aussie, who is proud of advertising a fabulous Aussie product.
