Ever since i've been into Astronomy, there's been a small but very persistent hunger to see a good value and premium Australian made newtonian. Am I alone here folks?
I'd love to hear of any companies or even start ups over the years you may be aware of? Only thing i can recall is a guy on the south coast who made top quality refractor/folded newt combos, actually now that i think of it one of his scope was selling here for $6k odd.
