Anacortes is advertising that they can ship SBIG equipment to Europe without any problems from the parent company. I do not know if this off-topic in relation to your question or not.
Gary Hand in Hands-On Optics said to John O'Neill and myself last September that he would ship to Ireland. We called in to his place in Maryland and he is more than happy touch base with Irish astronomers.
With the current dollar rate I'm interested in taking advantage of basically anything that takes my fancy and fits the budget. A premium apo would be nice. Might be worth making a 'sticky list' but then this may be seen as an endorsement of suppliers :evil:
