PRODUCTS AND SALES AT ISLAND ASTRONOMY

 

 

Featuring a wide selection of telescopes and eyepieces from Orion and TeleVue.

There is something for everyone, from the price conscious beginner to the most discriminating veteran.  Telescope packages range as low as $180 for the revolutionary Orion Star Blast, to over $3000 for the optical and mechanical perfection of the TeleVue NP101.

A large selection of binoculars and spotting scopes are available to "test drive" on beautiful Bass Harbor from our working lobster pier.

It really is "LIKE NO PLACE ON EARTH"


 

We are proud to bring these remarkable products to Maine.  
Let us show you what perfection is all about. 
The ranger, TV-76, TV-85, and NP101, are all on display along- 
side a wide selection of eyepieces, accessories and mounts. 
TeleVue telescopes are small and portable. Looking through a 
TeleVue at the skies above Acadia is like
stepping off the planet.
For those of you out of state, the entire line is available for
immediate shipment direct to you from the factory. And
we will meet any advertised price.

TELERAD FINDERS

The original reflex finder is still the best.  Dollar for dollar a TELERAD is the best accessory investment you can make.

 

 SKY SPOT FINDER CHARTS

These small laminated charts are designed to be used with a Telerad.  Together they are all you need to find the traditional targets for amateur astronomers.  These are not as flashy as GPS loaded Go-To Telescopes, just faster, better, and cheaper, they always work!  Don't spend a lot of money to make life complicated,  get a Telerad and the Sky Spot finders.
