Opticron repairs are always pretty swift and reasonably priced if it's a non-warranty issue too, good luck with the repair Charles

I am about to send my GS665 off for (hopefully) repair after it took 1 too many tumbles on the beach at Titchwell. :( Should it prove beyond repair I shall be looking to upgrade the body, as the eyepiece at least is still functional.

Opticron staff have always been very knowledgeable and helpful in my experience. *fingers crossed* it can be repaired.

This is currently proving to be the most popular telescope of the winter, with several folk coming in and choosing it in comparison to all others. The large 80mm objective with ED glass elements means high light transmissioneven on recent dull winters days. The scope is reasonably priced too with the body, SDL Zoom eyepiece, stay on case, tripod and mulepack package coming to under £1000.

Pop into the showroom and have a look, but give us a call first as we are restocking this item on a regular basis as we keep selling out!!!

Call 01925 730399 during shop hours, if you get me then just mention you are from the forums & I'll brew up for us
