Has anyone got, used or heard of these? If so are they any good? They look like just different branded skywatchers, can anyone confirm this?

Thanks in advance, Boab.

I have heard various reports on them. They are apparently an italian company who rebrand chinese scopes. No problem there many manfacturers do that. However here the stories diverge they have at one point sold poorly specced synta eg spherical mirrors or rebranded synta ie good or another manufactuerer entirely with poor results. this gives them a variable reputation if you get a fully specced synta one they are a bargain but they can also be very poor it depends on which manufacturer their last deal was with they apparently chop and change a bit. Which of these stories is true I can't say. I suspect they all are I have seen reports of excellent scopes from them and have seen reports of poor scopes they are always very competitive on price

Cheers for reply, seems a very good price but I may just go wi the brand name.
