Don't start me on Telstra mate. Anywayz TPG is a reasonably safe bet.
I only found out about the whole Tasco swindle after I walked to my car looking at my mint condition docket
But to repeat, it is an OK EP (at least on a par with my 10 & 25 Plossls lumped in when I bought my tube).
Its just that the optex barlow at 320x (with the 7.5mm) does get a little smokey moreso than blurry. I know Sirius optics here in Brissy have them at a similar price. I thought I would get better contrast to make out some planetary detail (ie Saturn's Gassy rings on the planet itself). The 7.5 appears to have a good lens rubber bit (the part yu rest yr eye on) but sadly a bit short on eye relief (downright annoying).
I'm just worried that if I make up my mind to scream refund I might have blown what could arguably be a bargain under really good night viewing circumstances (ie dark sky, winter, after a fresh cold front)
Anyways, not taking them back just yet and my club meeting is on Tuesday night so I'll take them along there to probably add to my confusion. I dunno, it just instinctively felt like a bargain
Cheers anyway torana,
John
