Hey Alex,

I appreciate your comments and your "what to buy" list. The fact that the costs are not in High-to-low order is instructional and bares out your previous comments.

TMB is a set of initials Thomas M Bach - His lenses are very highly respected. TMB APO's are among the best..

thanks. Perhaps we will read a few reviews on his telescopes and se if there is a distributor in Australia.

Just lastly, what do you think of the Orion Premium ED 102 F/7?
It looks like a compromise in price and performance.

thanks again for your response.
