Best online stores and recommendations for some equipment I need

Looking to expand my accessories with a barlow lens, solar filter, moon filter and a case/bag.

What stores does everyone here use online? I have used OzScopes who are great but accessories can be a bit pricey.

Can anyone recommend me some products for my scope?

Current Scope: Celestron 130SLT
Current Accessories: 25mm and 9mm eyepieces.

Want: Barlow Lens (wiling to pay up to $60), moon filter (have seen a Celestron one for $25 and used to have it but people say it is no good and does give off a green tinge, can anyone recommend me a good moon filter, willing to pay between $20 and $40), solar filter (not sure which one to get, up to $30) and an accessories case as well as a telescope bag/case (so hard to find for my scope!!!!)

Thanks!

Hi 04Stefan07 there are a few good aussie sites you can try or OS sites, here are just a few.
http://www.bintel.com.au/, http://www.andrewscom.com.au/, http://www.optcorp.com/default.aspx or http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/browse...8/N/4294541872

As for a case for EP's etc have you tried bunnings, they have a good cheap case for $69 see this thread http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ighlight=craft for pics and to see what others use them for. As for the scope cover you could check out http://www.telegizmos.com/.

Thanks for the links!

Can anyone recommend me any Eps and filters based on my criteria below?

I hear random reviews with this kit.

http://www.ozscopes.com.au/celestron...t-1-25-in.html

Good value for money but some people say the quality of the equipment is crap and better off buying a barlow and the moon filter on it's own.

You can get that kit on Optics Planet for $200 inc. postage.
