Cute - but too much money for that mount - give the AUD > USD at present and OPT Corp sell the CGE-Pro plus an 1100 EdgeHD OTA for USD $7,999 (or an 1400 EdgeHD plus CGE-Pro for USD $8,999).

Seems like alot to pay for what you get; the CGP-Pro retails at Opt for USD $4,999 ... which is about $4,954 AUD

PS

In no way do I infer Lee is price gouging us - just the opposite - I expect that its between Celestron and the distributor that make everyone look like saps in this arrangement. Lee has to advertise the CGE PRO 1400 EdgeHD at $19,999 AUD (RRP A$34,999) (ed. buy price in US retail in AUD is around $8,900 today)...
