Selling to non astronomers makes sense as a business model as markups are potentially higher and warranty claims lower.

Not everyone is getting out of Celestron. I noticed last Thursday that BTOW in Perth has plenty of Celestron telescopes in stock and his prices look fairly reasonable too. Not sure though whether he has all models in stock. Since I am not in the market for a new SCT I didn't ask.
