m37 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Hello and welcome. Probably better sticking your question in a different section as not everyone will be looking in the welcome bit. Try slinging it in the beginner equipment section, sure someone will be along to help. These guys know loads!Cheers, and good to have you on board!

Steve Ward Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Welcome to the forum sir ... Had a trawl round and couldn't see any reference to US/Canadian dealers on their site . . . http://www.telescopes.ru/product.html?cat=1 . . . may well be worth an e-mail though.Would also be an idea to post the question in the Refractor section on Cloudy Nights too , a lot more bodies closer to home so's to speak . . . http://www.cloudynights.com/There is one available here but I guess the postage would be a bit steep from the UK . . . http://www.scopesnskies.com/bargain-zone.htmlHappy hunting . . .

John Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Welcome to the forum !Last time someone was looking for a TAL 125 they had to import from a dealer in Italy I seem to recall. I don't think anyone in the UK is handling them.There is one TAL Apolar 125 being offered here (last scope on the page, just before the microscopes):http://www.pulsar-optical.co.uk/bargain-zone.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Steele Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hi and welcome to SGL, a really friendly forum. The 125R is as rare as hens teeth over here so to say so i would have no idea how so to source one in Canada,Have fun and good luck, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightfisher Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Welcome, I spent a couple of years searching for one, have to say im sort of glad i did not find one, there are better scopes around, like the 120 ED from skywatcher, even the TAL 100rs would be one to consider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marki Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hi and welcome, refractor.I had to import my TAL125R from Italy and, frankly, it isn't without problems. When they're good, they're very good though - Neil English's review over on cloudy nights (search "Taming the Tiger") was what persuaded me to look for mine, but note he had problems with his to begin with.Beware the Apolar version, it has a very complex optics and it doesn't appear to travel well - John here has reviewed that scope and it is worth reading up on it. I suspect the Skywatcher 120 ED/APO (or similar) is a better, more reliable instrument in the same price bracket (or less in fact). As Nighfisher says, the 100RS is worth consideration though, if you don't mind the drop in aperture - a fantastic achromat for its price, assuming you can get one in Canada.Hope you get what you want though.All the best, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
