any Antares dealers in Aus?

Need a foot to suit an ED80 focuser for my Antares Illum Right Angle Finder and Bracket. The one that came with the bracket will only suit and go on my C8. Can't find one for the ED80 anywhere.

Know who would carry these?

Troy I think AOE might have at one time brought in some Antares scopes.

Hi Troy,

Contact Sheri at Sky Instruments in Canada. They will ship direct to Australia and there prices are very reasonable. Sky Instruments is the company which owns the Antares brand name and distributes all Antares products

Thanks John.

Edit: Sky Instruments aren't on that dealer page you linked.

They are right at the bottom as "the owner". They distribute to all of those dealers

Cheers,

D'oh! Thanks. Didn't look that far down, obviously. Was looking at all the other companies.
