Abstract

[Presented here in alphabetical order is a listing of the primary sources for astronomical telescopes. Except in the case of those for some overseas manufacturers, note that this compilation does not include dealers themselves, advertisements for whom can be readily found in the various astronomical magazines such as Sky & Telescope. Under the company’s bolded name are its mailing address, phone number/s where available, Internet web site and/or e-mail address, and a concise listing of the telescopes offered at the time of writing. Readers should contact them directly for copies of their latest catalogs, specifications for specific models, current prices, shipping charges, delivery times, and warranty and return policy. Note that most of these firms also offer a line of mounting options and accessories in addition to the instruments themselves. In a number of cases, their catalogs are available on-line, as well as by mail. Also listed un-bolded are numerous companies from the past who are either out of business entirely or are no longer making telescopes. Many of their instruments are not only still in use by stargazers today but are also offered from time to time on the used market. In many cases these telescopes are considered classics, and as such are much sought after by observers and collectors alike. No contact information is given for these firms other than where they were or currently are located.]
