AU$45 total.

Just don't forget to remove the lens (potential focusing problem) if you want to use it instead of eyepiece..
Otherwise, just use it instead of your eye (BTW, any webcam can be used this way)!


Meade LPI (under Seben brand name) is also available here for AU$97 total (it seems Meade price is in US$):
