    Saw this on eBay! Not a bad price. 150mm apature but short focal length!
    It does seem a bit of a "to good to be true" price. My feeling would be to look for a bargain with a proven maker's name, and be suspicious of someone who does not even tell you the manufacturer

    Agreed, The pictures of the eyepieces and moonchart look identical to the rubbish that comes from Tasco.
    Steer clear IMO.

    My brother-in-law's brother got a telescope in recent months. I have not seen it yet myself. It is a big one by what I have been told. Apparently it was bought for him from some guy in the Leixlip area who does them really cheap, though of a good quality. My brother-in-law didn't have the name of the guy, but he is going to try and find out for me. Does anyone here think they know of him?
