THE INDUSTRY'S BEST TELESCOPE AND ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY EXPERTS
Look, we get it. Stating that we’re the “best” can seem a bit like a catch. However, with a combined astronomy experience of over 115 years (117 to be exact), our team of telescope and astrophotography experts, a.k.a. "Gear Experts", knows astronomy and how to service our customers.
We know how to narrow down the products that best fit YOUR needs, rather than push something simply because it’s easy. Once we’ve done that, we ensure you understand WHY we’re recommending the product by teaching you the concepts behind the product and in the process, we demystify all the terminology. Leaving you with confidence knowing you are making the right decision and one that is perfect for you and your goals of viewing the night sky!
Our knowledge is only surpassed by our passion for this wonderful hobby we all love so much. We truly believe our team is a cut above the rest and we look forward working with you!
NON-COMMISSIONED PRODUCT ADVISORS
Our team of product advisors know what it’s like to buy astronomy equipment for the first time. There are so many types of telescopes and accessories that the process can be overwhelming enough without having to worry about pushy salespeople trying to make a big commission.
That’s why our unbiased, non-commissioned product advisors’ only incentive is to recommend a product that they truly believe is the right choice to help you meet your goals, and at a price point that also meets your budget. There’s never any pressure to buy, and you can rest assured that your recommendation is personalized for you rather than motivated by financial gain. We look forward to helping you start your astronomy journey!

Celestron Sky Maps and Planisphere
This water resistant sky map does double duty! On the front is a northern hemisphere planisphere that rotates so you can figure out what constellations are up for a specific date and time. Inside are seasonal star maps that display where bright stars and celestial objects are located, with info broken down by constellation. Recommended for anyone who wants to know what's up in the sky at any given time, this guide will serve you well for many years to come!

Apertura Astro Vision Red LED Flashlight
A red flashlight keeps your eyes dark-adapted for the best views! Use it to read star charts, look for accessories, or get around in the dark. A must for any amateur astronomer!

Celestron RA Motor Drive for AstroMaster or PowerS...
Add a motor drive to your Powerseeker EQ mount and let it compensate for object movement caused by the earth's rotation. Celestial objects will stay in your eyepiece a lot longer with the motor in use, and the number of manual adjustments you'll need to make will be substantially less.

Celestron 1.25" Moon Filter 18 % Light Transmissio...
You won't believe how bright the moon is through a telescope! A Moon Filter will dim the light, just like sunglasses do, so you can see more details on the lunar surface. The moon filter threads onto the barrel of all included eyepieces and any other astronomy accessory you buy later that has a 1.25” barrel.
We typically recommend aligning your finderscope during the day, with something off in the distance. Locate the object in telescope and then view through the finderscope. It will not be centered. Simply adjust the finderscope so that the finderscope is pointing at the same object that your telescope is pointing at. Then after aligning your scope reliably well during the day, do it again on the moon and fine adjust the finderscope to ensure it's centered on the same spot as the main telescope.
