I wonder if Vincent Snr has received his ? He has been awfully quiet. I suspect it must have arrived already and caused the cloudy skies these days, so he is laying low, so as not to take the blame....
how, vince?

Nah, decided not to get it. It's too long....I need something much shorter.
Is S$1100 shipped a good price to pay for this scope?

If its insured air mail, I would think so. The scope is now selling for US$499 or close to S$900. $200 shipping seems reasonable.....unless someone begs to differ?hommel wrote:Is S$1100 shipped a good price to pay for this scope?
BTW, there is a review of this refractor in the new issue of Sky & Telescope.
Check it out!
