Thanks for the replies.

I hadn't heard of them either so I'm guessing it's a new-ish venture. I can't really stretch to the new ones on the Astonomiser site so second hand pre-modded cameras seems like a good idea. Compared with the cost of the average decent Ebay non modded camera, the price seems to be in the right ballpark too.

Hi all,

I've been a Nikon user for a while but have been thinking of getting a modified Canon 450 DSLR to get all the Laptop control and better Ha response. A friend told me about this website which looks quite good and offers local pick up too...

Has anyone had any experience with them please?

Thanks.

An incredible man with such passion for astronomy - an inspiration.

Rest in peace Sir Patrick.

After much deliberating about getting a spotting scope, I finally went for one from Harrison Telescopes. A quick call confirmed what I wanted. It wasn't in stock with them but the gentleman on the phone said the supplier was very good at getting stock out to him and he would in turn send it out the same day on a 24 hour courier.

An order was placed at 10am on Wednesday 21st Dec which was delivered at lunchtime today.

Excellent service by all parties involved at this busy time of year.
