SynScan hand controller in NZ?

I've had a trawl through the forums and searched online but can't find anything. So, does anyone know if the Synscan controller is available in NZ? Or of an Aus dealer who will ship? I have an HEQ5 Pro with a V2 controller and would like a f/w upgradeable version.

Thanks, Colin.

Gooday Colin,

Best bet is send an email to Andrews Communications in Sydney, they are a Skywatcher dealer and should be able to help.

Their sales email address is radioandrews@hotmail.com

Regards
Bill

Hi Colin, I had the same problem a few months back ended up getting one from here.

The supplier is in Italy, but Fedx got it here (in rural Qld) in 6 days.

I had a look at their site, they had very good prices with flat rate delivery of $26 aud. Looks too good to be true any one else dealt with them.
