Where to ge them from, and how much are they?
Bintel will have them, probably something between $50-$80.

How much is the orion shorty plus? Where do you get it from? Would it be cheaper to order it from the US?
About $200 in Aus, again from Bintel.

If you ever want to buy Orion stuff, Joe O'Neil in Canada is a great bloke to deal with. I bought an orion shorty plus and the 9x50 RACI finder from him.

Is the Celestron Ultima good? I haven't read much about them..

Well known in Astro circles as a top quality fully multicoated 5 element design with similar characteristics to plossls.
Comparable to Televue plossls and some prefer the Ultimas to them.
