I bought my EQ platform from Brian Reed from the US, but that was in 2006! Unfortunately he has closed his business down now.

There was no problem bringing it in from the US - it's just that shipping/postage cost a lot.

To my knowledge, there's noone in Australia that makes them commercially but I'm happy to be corrected.

You can't avoid field rotation over a long period of time, but this isn't a problem for visual observing. If you plan to do planetary/lunar imaging, it's not a problem for that either because the exposures are so short.
