Hi again Perry, Also when ordering from around here your item can be in your "hot little hands" in 2-3 days instead of sometimes 2-3 weeks! I`ll have to check if Lumicon deliver Internationally. Mark.

Hi Mark,

I've just purchased a used Lumicon Easy Guider to be used with my two

refractors.  This is the 2" model.  The one in your URL for the Aussie

dealer is the 1.25" one.

The AstroMarter I got mine from recommended the 2" over the 1.25".  He

said he had tried the 1.25", which worked OK, but someone suggested to

get the 2" model.  He did and was much more satisfied with it.

He's now moved upscale with SBIG (I think?) equipment.

I note on Lumicon's website that the price of the 1.25" and the 2" EGs

is the same, $199 US.  The one you're looking at is $299 AU.  (Aren't

the USD and the AUD about par?)

Hummmmmmm...  Big shipping charge from the US to the continent down

under, huh??!!

Anyway, better skies and good shopping.

Perry

Thanks Milton for detailing that. Above is the Guider I`m looking at.

I`ll let you know how I go when I can finally afford it ( 2 or more

months!) Mark.
