Which vendors sell the Morpheus range?
Haha, I can see a conflict brewing between Imaging and visual as to which setup gets to go on top of the the EQ6 !!

Nice choice in ep's, I know of two QLD companies that do, they were $360 at entry currently $385-$420, which hurts them a little. Astro Anarchy for 1 option...
If your not after a really wide field with the tracking at hand, there are gems in the sub $150 range new, if you do want wide field $400+ and I'd differ to Martin on the APM 110/100 degree series. The $150 maybe not show boat pieces, but are very capable.
ES is stocked in Sydney by a few places, so is Sky Rover, no Oz sale point for APM that I have found.
With no VAT and postage prices from the US, UK/Germany etc are cheaper to the door for some things.
Visuals is easy, you'll give in and get a 10-12" dob to look through while doing AP on the EQ-6...
While I really like the Morpheus range, the same rule still applies you will find varying performance across the range of magnifications. So, be prepared to pick the eye teeth from a few brands/series.
