Brian, thanks for the tip off, the catch is that a new EQ6Pro GoTo can be purchased for $1500. I was looking at the Orion equivalent s/hand in the US for approx., $900AU but the shipping quote was $540..........
. It really does pay to do some research before jumping in
. I'm currently selling of stuff that I've hung on to for various reasons to finance a >30 year wait to indulge my interest in astronomy and I suspect I'll end up buying new.
