Forward We Go
Tech2000 has purchased the consumer telescope technology sector from NightFire Scientific Instruments LTD. Now we have direct control over this product line and have moved it upward to bring the extra quality that our more serious customers truly seek when purchasing something GOOD in the mainstream consumer and advanced astronomy jungle mix. You will only find all optics multi-coated high-purity glass, most with blackened lense edges described below and not seen in any normal shop even the good ones, optical baffles applied in multiple locations at the correct points without weep, and no cheap 'department store' cemented achromats here - all refractor optics below are air-spaced doublet or air-spaced triplet lenses hand-polished with serious artful care then mounted and collimated individually in each telescope tube.
WARNING - If you wish to buy based on price only instead of price/performance ratio, go elsewhere, please go-away from here, there are plenty of mainstream mail order houses that sell the same as department store goods. We will only provide the very best bang plus 1-year warranty plus customer support that is not going to be exceeded by any company in the USA. After all, over 19 years, this is still the same Tech2000 principal. When was the last time you saw a real sharp good-whopping 70mm telescope with full accessories included, with a tripod, and a sturdy nylon backpack carry bag too for 99 bucks - that was actually any good? We got it here sure, and ED doublets and triplets up to 6" aperture with or without mounting heads and tripods/piers. All of it just can't be beat... else we would not be handling this NightFire line of optics in the first place. Extended warranty is available too for the long-haul peace of mind.
