I hadn't seen that takeover Marc. Another vaguely dodgy ISP vanishes down the backside of the universe called The Planet.

Another dodginess hint:

$ host www.telescopegoods.com
www.telescopegoods.com has address 208.43.176.153

I wonder if they sell Hubbles as well.

Maybe someone will just have to place an enquiry

despite the cost of picking up the scope myself (hire [a] space shuttle, fuel and astronauts), it was still cheaper than getting a small scope delivered by Australia post locally, it was also quicker.

Seems legit...
Just ordered COD 1 x Takahashi TOA-130 Refractor OTA (3032) = $217.00
Plus $5 delivery fee.
Did I pay too much?
