Cheers Tony.
I bought the Apogees second-hand and they were originally shipped from the US which made them a lot cheaper.
Click on our web page (
www.southdublinastronomy.org
) and scroll down a little to where you'll see a number of links to sites listing second-hand astronomy gear. Almost certainly you'll get a good deal on the Skymasters on one of those sites. eBay, surprisingly enough, can be worthwhile keeping a close eye on too. The guy who owns Strathspey has a dealer shop there and ships from Scotland -- very reliable and excellent service.
atb,
John
