TEC in Australia

[Hans Tucker (Hans)]

Whilst perusing the Bintel website I see they now offer TEC Telescopes and Accessories. Prices are interesting .. makes me appreciate my TEC160FL. I am going to need all winning numbers in Lotto to ever own my desired TEC250VT.

Top end Refractor wise, we have pretty good representation in Australia. ATS offers Astro-Physics, Testar offer Takahashi and now Bintel offers TEC.

Wow... Take out a loan, and then rent it out for weekly blocks until you make your money back!

I'd love to the results of pictures taken through it.
It's unobstructed so it gives the maximum possible contrast.
10" is a very large refractor and as a TEC it should have a very high Strehl ratio.
