Hi,

I've been living in Sydney for almost a year but have been doing only casual observing from my balcony so far. My 4.5" scope is currently sitting on a Giro-type alt-az mount and Gitzo G1415 tripod which prohibits me from doing any high power observing. The mount that I have is capable of taking the load, so I'm thinking of replacing the tripod first with a wooden surveyor type. I've used this type of tripod before when I was living in Singapore and I quite like the setup.

Can anyone guide me on where I can get this tripod in Sydney? I tried hardware stores but with no avail.

Thanks and clear skies! (it's been cloudy the past few days)
