RFI – Telescope eyepiece cleaning/repair – Northern Sydney

Hi all Over the holiday period I managed to get sand on/in my scope’s eyepiece after it tipped over at Stockton sandspit (the sand I put the tripod on was not as firm as it looked). The place I bought the scope from (Astro Optical in Artarmon) is no longer in business. Apart from BinTel in Glebe, any Sydney north shore based suppliers that anybody would recommend? (The scope is a Bauer 80A and is about 12 years old. I’m not in the market for a new scope yet as I’m trying to save up to replace my battered old Canon 450D.) A similar note on Facebook has generated a recommendation for Rogers optics and Restoration at Bankstown, which is still a bit of a hike from my North Turramurra base and does not appear to be open on Saturday. Cheers Tom Wilson PS – In light of the recent status of BA thread, I was always going to post here and on Facebook…
