I hate to tell ya Silv but that's about it for NZ suppliers. And the range of stuff HAS improved over the last few years. I've used Bintel in Sydney for importing a bit of small stuff and that 's been ok re freight coststec. I'd hate to think what it might run to for bigger gear. That's probably one of the reasons I build so much of my own stuff. The only import for SK II was the mirrors. The 2" focusser was through an ICE advert but the rest is local. I did pickup some bits last year while in Sydney.
As I said in another thread I cry when I see whats available in the USA both from new and second hand listings.
There is another seller based in New Plymouth on TradeMe and there was I think one in Palmerston North but that might have been a local astronomer shifting some stuff to cover expenses, not sure.
Small elite market over here, not much you can do about it I'm afraid.
