OPTICAL DESIGN NOTES

Ritchey-Chretien astrographs are generally regarded as being the best design for astrophotography.

Ritchey-Chretien (RC) optical designs are generally regarded as being optically superior to Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) designs
and "edge" corrected SCTs due to their resulting flatter field.

  Schmidt-Cassegrain optical designs are generally regarded as being superior to Maksutov-Cassegrain designs due to their higher light transmission, etc.

SALES NOTE

We not only supply excellent telescopes at better-than-fantastic prices, we provide our six (6) year warranty (not just 5 year warranty) on all new Skywatcher products we sell. We also offer our full after sales and service support to ensure you enjoy many years of happy observing and astrophotographing.

We set the "street" prices on Skywatcher products in Australia.

You can certainly shop with great confidence at Andrews! Est. 1976.
 

SHIPPING NOTES

Insurance cover for goods in transit is available from us for only $2 per $100 value of goods. Please advise us if you require this option when ordering.

Please consider insurance because we are not responsible for loss of parcels or damage sustained by parcels - the carrier is responsible! We do pack well!

Please do NOT write <fragile> on anything you send to us as doing so greatly increases the risk of damage. Please try to "double-box" all products sent to us.

Prices are subject to change due to recent exchange rate variations.

We reserve the right to limit sale quantities to retail levels.

Quantity pricing is by negotiation.

Bonuses are not redeemable for cash or a further discount.

Most short-tube refractors are designed to be used in conjunction with a diagonal. Focus may not be achievable without using a diagonal or a focal extender tube. Diagonals and focal extenders are at additional cost.

Please remember that warranty may be void if you internally disassemble any telescope, regardless of model.

Customer-caused damage is not covered by warranty, of course.
