I'm thinking the strong Aussie dollar and some retail competition is going to start to drive the prices down...

Here's hoping...

OIC!

Hopefully, Id love to see some decent (not awesome) 2" eyepeices for under $150
5x celestron 1.25" for under $300 4x 2" for the same price would be fantastic.

You never know maybe we will break $1 USD.

Also I have confirmed their shipping deal, no idea how long it will last but I have received a proforma invoice total $2651, scope and $52 insurance.

12" here I come!!!@
