Sorry guys, but I think Astromart is letting me down... unless I am doing something wrong.

I can't access any areas such as the Classifieds or the Forums (for help FAQ), and there is no Help section (says it is 'coming soon'). I request my password via e-mail, and no matter what e-mail address I enter, I never get a message. Now, to access anywhere on the site, I have to register for $12.00. That's a bit mean to say the least.

Astromart has gone to pot.

Hey Seanie,

I think the $12 fee was just to discourage webmail usage - where most of the spam and phishing came from.

If you have an account on another server you should be able to register for free.

Would you recommend the PST?

I certainly would Stephen. It's a great into to hydrogen alpha viewing. I'd suggest you take a look through one first though; it's only 40mm aperture so you can't really get in very close.

By the way, if you are really thinking of getting one ask the store to allow you to try a few of them while you are there (most will let you) and then make your decision. It's the odd thing about the PST, they are supposed to be around .9 angstrom but some get close to .7 angstrom, which would give far more disc detail. It's well worth it to get a good one.

Cheers,

Trev

Thats shocking !! when did this come in ???
Have you been a user for a long time Seanie or more recently and have you ever bought/sold parts there??
I wonder is it for people who havent bought /sold stuff recently.

You're average Joe Blogs isnt going to pay for this, this could be the death nail for astromart!
