Rezn8 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hi All, my names Marc, from South Africa. I have been retailing telescopes ( Meade / Celestron ) for a few years now. I am very into the DSLR lens AP side, as I have access to lots of great lenses. The South African astronomy market is still very small, as costs of equipment are still relatively high, but we try our best to get people into the hobby.Looking forward to sharing with you all..Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sologuitarist61 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Hello Marc and welcome - that is interesting how the South African market for astro goods is still small, as I would imagine that you get some great night time skies down there.

Rezn8 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Sky here in winter is awesome. Unfortunately , my AP career only got going nicely towards the end of winter. Next year, I will be very prepared. Normally in summer, we have late afternoon thunderstorms, then it clears beatifully in the evening. This year, I have used the scope twice for a few hours in the lasst three months, it just hasnt stopped being overcast and rainy. Global warming definitely. One problem we do have, is its very difficult to find dark sites. We have loads of them, the problem is security. I am thinking of maybe setting up a online photo scope in an automated dome, on a farm of my stepdad, to rent out online to people in the Northern hemisphere, think it would have takers ?
