Telescopes.com is having a $30 off $300 or $60 off $600 which will end by this evening (USA time)
You need a voucher code for it though, it should pop up here and there.
This makes already discounted Televue eyepieces much cheaper.....

Wow that's a nice deal.

OPTCorp is offering double rewards (about 4% off) and will ship TV eps overseas.

10% is a good discount but not looking at anything in their catalogue at the moment.. [smilie=bad-atmosphere.gif]

i'd advise against buying the celestron 15x70 overseas.

i bought one of those in the Philippines. it arrived knocked out of collimation (they don't hold collimation very well). and the shipping is going to be substantial (maybe $40). if it's miscollimated it will not be economic to ship it back.

besides. it's way too heavy to hand-hold for more than a few minutes at a time. and the binocular bracket it comes with is too flimsy (you'll have to reinforce it with a lot of jb weld).

mine is still sitting at my house in Manila, rotting. i was planning to cut it in two and use each half as a 70mm finder. never got around to it.

stick with a 10x50 or so. heck i'm actually interested in the 6.5x21 pentax papilio, which is tiny and can be used for bug-observing in the garden.
