There are several incarnations of it with various focusers and adapters fitted, when I bought mine I could only get one sort, it;s part number is, AF60STR-HFZ-1R.

Found a side by side picture with the Star71 to compare the size

 

Thanks Dave, really appreciate the help. I'll get it ordered tonight!

Thanks! Is this the same one? It seems there are two types with different focusers and this one looks exactly like your one

Yes that's the same, and ironically I got mine from F1 telescopes.

I enquired at F1 when buying mine and the guy said they were in stock but when I said OK I'll come and pick it up it turned out that he meant in stock at Altair Astro but AA had already told me they were out of stock 

There are at least 4 versions with different focuser / adapters

Got one from Ian King in the end.

Yes he's not very good at stocking bits. I tend to use Altair direct now.
