Unfortunately, there are no local suppliers of telescopes and accessories. For the most part, you’ll need to go online and have your equipment shipped to you. The good news is there are several quality suppliers out there. Here are a few our members have used over the years.
A Telrad finder is always a good option for any telescope.
Go to our Eclipse Safety page for information about purchasing eclipse glasses.
Please note that FAS does not formally recommend specific suppliers – these are just some you may choose from.
