Hey Astro friends!
I'm saving for a new mount for AP at the moment. It's likely that it'll be an NEQ6 Pro Synscan and I was just wondering, taking into account shipping costs and price of the unit itself, where the best place to purchase one would be.
I've trawled the usual online distributors and it seems to me that First Light in the UK offer the best deal . Although I'm still waiting on a quote for shipping.
Has anybody got any other suggestions?
Please and thank you
Will

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

Telescope Express in Germany are a fine company to deal with, and their shipping costs are not high.
With the current poor performance of the Euro against Sterling the cost from First Light will get higher.

Hi Will,
If you haven't yet, make sure and email Telescope Service for their best price before deciding.
I got 5% off the price of my last order and 30% off the shipping, all I did was email and ask.
Cheers,
Reggy

That's fantastic Reggy! I have heard that they are very flexible with their prices.

Very German... lol, say what they mean efficiently and with few words, but sound to deal with ... You order as normal on the site, copy and paste the offer they emailed you into the comments box and they refunded the difference to my paypal account the next day. The main item was not in stock and I had to wait a couple of weeks but they were straight up about it before I ordered. Definatley deal with them again!

When you get your best price from Telescope Service you should give Stephen at Ktec Telescopes a call, he is a new Irish dealer now doing Sky-Watcher.
