Hi guys,
Thanks for your input, guys. Yes, I would like to try a Pentax. I don't feel a huge need to be eyepiece-consistent with the Vixens. (Although, are they parfocal?)
Er, well, David, when I say "local" I mean within Oz. Remember, mainland Australia is really a pair of buttocks, with Perth a pimple on one cheek and Melbourne a bigger pimple on the other. Adelaide is located near the unmentionable fundament, and Tasmania, well, let's just say it's bobbing around in the toilet bowl of the southern ocean.
Of course, no one in Tas that I know of carries any decent equipment. (I am trying to cultivate Walch Optics in Hobart, though.) The "local" suppliers I refer to are places like Star Optics in Queensland, a nameless mob in Adelaide, Astronomy Online, or Bintel. (When it comes to amateur astronomy, it really pays to think global.)
Cheers,
Brian.
