Bought it straight from FLI Pete... It cost $995 USD + 100USD for the adapter between the ST8300 and the CFW (FLI Part no: AD-2) and $25US expedited shipping with UPS.
$1120 USD total, I paid $194 import duty/GST through customs once it got here.. All up it was $1436AU at the exchange rate on the day of purchase, including the GST customs duties etc..
Wouldn't have it any other way! The FLI CFW is superb... its quiet, its very very accurate, repeatability is spot on... The only downside is the cost of 50mm unmounted filters... My NB filter set cost me $1850AUD.. I really wanted the 3nm Astrodon's but they were $1200AUD per filter...
The LRGB filters I managed to pick up 2nd hand off the forums for $375 - A bargain considering they are $895USD new..
The Baader LRGB / SII Ha OIII filters in the 36mm size for the new SBIG ST8300 CFW are actually very affordable... Much cheaper than mine in comparison...
