US sources for gear

Hi Jeff,

I am sorry to hear you had to pay extra. For each of my three major shipments from AP involving an AP160/f7.5, AP1200GTO GEM and AP Mach1GTO GEM, I had requested a supply of Losmandy equipment as well (plates, rings etc).

Also, please remember that they also carry the full range of Baader equipment and accessories and you may just save the 20+% taxes as well.

Pentax from Optcorp to Ireland no problem but I got the jitters at the reduced focal ratio. Spoke to Marcus at APM and now have a TMB 80/600 F7.5 on order which he says will be one of the last since the scope is being discontinued. Also ordered a televue 0.8 focal reducer with it. Kiss clear skies goodbye. :oops:
