America has way better deals than Australia.

Hope i helped you (a bit)
Kind Regards,

All sounds OK with the prices but remember a few things
-shipping cost can be very expensive for bulky items
-at higher level over $1k you must add GST
- many US makers (especially Celestron) will not allow there dealers to ship outside the US
- often times there is no warranty (again Celestron are prime example) and if there is the item will need to be shipped back to the US.

Cheers

Malcolm
