Hi Adam, congratulations on your purchase and welcome to IIS
. I've heard good things about the Astroguy.
I buy gear all over the place but I don't have a local shop. Since Tim lives in Sydney I'd recommend he gives Bintel a chance - if he needs any assistance he can walk into the shop for help, and I'm sure Bintel would bend over backwards to get someone new to the Hobby up and running. There's a lot to be said for buying local if prices are reasonable.
