The shipping is an extra $60, but that still brings the eyepiece in at only $330. I'm guessing shipping isn't affected by the dollar and is as is, but I don't really care because it's so cheap anyway.
OPT still have them selling for $360 with shipping on top of that (I think from memory when I last bought my XW10 it was $40).

So yaaaaaaaaay I can't wait for it to get here.
Look out tight doubles and the homunculus in Eta Carina- I'm going to get you good!

haha this thread has gone totally full circle now with my original question.

I will have to order my 3.5mm NAGLER to show ya a real view of the Homunculus Suzy
Cheers
