If you think its bad here , you want to see what our poor cousins over the Tasman pay
. Its criminal !
Google , ' Trade Me ' , go to photography and optical , then Binoculars and telescopes . Have a look and you will see we aint so bad off here.
Thats why Andrews and Bintel do so well over there , good on them to because if it was not for them amateur astronomy would be a rich mans hobby in New Zealand .

The hobby would be more available to everyone if the prices weren't so stupid
