Have a look on eBay: search for "refractive lens for astronomical telescope". There are multiple listings for different F ratios

The reason for me seaking out another 150mm f8 is this.
A "friend" did some cleaning up in my workshop and the end result is my beaut scope fell onto the concrete floor. I am devistated.

I would just order a replacement lens through your local Synta/Skywatcher dealer. New tubes are about AUD $750 last time I looked
