Hi All - First post in this forum so my apologies if repeating a possibly overdone topic. I have done a search and have found some older posts on the subject about the price variations that I have come across looking for my first telescope. Is it still not possible to buy Celestron (or any other scope) from the USA? I am fully aware of the pitfalls of buying overseas but when you are looking at well over 50% less it is hard to resist even with no warranty backup.
Celestron AU (Celestron Nexstar 5 SE)

PS: I have only just begun the research so I am confused as any noobie and may be overdoing it even looking at this scope so early and am willing to be told so! And I seem to have picked up that Celestron themselves may be the problem as far as the variations go. Is that true?
