Jeanette,
Thanks for your reply. $70 sounds pretty reasonable, to ship it up to you. Cheaper than I thought it would be. I wonder how much Bintel charge for there freight.
Actually I'm holding off until we see the new GSO 16" truss dob that is rumoured to be released

. All I know is they are being made for an american company at present. Rumour has it and from a pretty good source I might add, GSO plans releasing them early next year in Australia
So how is the new scope going? I'm sure the views are way more impressive than the 60mm. Maybe you should get some more baadar film and turn the 60mm into a dedicated solar scope?
Regards, CS
