Good move. OPT are good to deal with and they will be precise about what they can and cannot ship overseas. Unfortunately some other reputable outlets assume that because their two or three biggest suppliers impose a restriction it's not worth the effort and don't export anything.

Might be worth making a 'sticky list' but then this may be seen as an endorsement of suppliers :evil:


like this? :-)

Astro-Physics ships direct to Ireland. They're also a TeleVue dealer, but I've never tried to see if they'd ship TeleVue stuff to Ireland.

Jeff,

They will ship anything and everything they carry which includes, for example, TeleVue and Losmandy.

Anthony --

Good to know! (I didn't realize they carried Losmandy stuff -- I paid a fortune for some dovetails through Green Witch. Oh well, live and learn.)
