Astro prices
I bought a Heq5 pro from Bintel June 27th for $1549 delivered. I see now they are a whopping $1999.
Glad I didn't wait for xmas

Andrews is $1699 but no stock until May 2022

Yes, inflation is with us (but don't tell the Reserve Bank).

Just realised the saxon heq5 (which is the one I bought) is $1599 from Bintel. So only $50 dearer. BUT the skywatcher version IS $1999. So $400 dearer for the exact same mount.
Buy the Saxon
Cheers, Richard

It was the same when I bought my Orion Atlas AZEQ6 clone. Painted black instead of white and hundreds of dollars cheaper than the AZEQ6.
