Why Should You Trust All-Star Telescope?

We've Made All The Mistakes
So You Don't Have To

We're just a bunch of nerds who care an unreasonable amount about astronomy, astrophotography, birding and science.

All Star Telescope is America’s go-to shop for telescopes, astrophotography equipment, and binoculars. We love astronomy, astrophotography, and birding and are enthusiastic about helping people enjoy these hobbies. To do this well, we have a number of core principles that we use to run our business.

The Art of the Down-Sell

Only What You Need, Nothing More

We don’t like to sell anyone anything they don’t need or won’t use. That sometimes means fewer accessories than someone is initially looking for, or a smaller telescope than they had in mind. We’re here to help you find the right product. That means we’ll honestly help you to understand what you’re getting, and what you should expect to get out of it.

The Anti-Junk Rule

Painstakingly Curated

You won’t find any junk in our store. That means we might not have all the same products that you might find at a big box store. Instead, we carefully select the best telescopes, binoculars, and accessories for every budget. We want you to enjoy the hobby, not wind up with something that’s just going to gather dust in a closet, or wind up in the trash.

Go Above and Beyond

Personalized Attention & Customer Service

We don’t want to be the only ones saying nice things about All Star, or the products we sell. We have an A+ rating on the BBB, and a 4.9 on more than 100 google reviews and hundreds of 5 star customer reviews! We want you to be confident that you’re dealing with a great company. We also have hundreds of real-life, verified-buyer product reviews on our website so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Be Local and Locally Engaged

Helping to Grow Our Communities

The internet has changed the definition of local. We stay local by supporting school clubs and events wherever we can. We’re proud supporters of RASC Canada, and star parties across the country including the SSSP in Saskatchewan and Starfest in Ontario. We also work with schools and youth groups to support astronomy and scientific learning wherever we can.

We know that your hobbies are a serious investment of money and time. All Star Telescope helps you get the most out of that investment. We know the products we sell, we stand behind them, we provide great advice and work to make sure that you get the most out of your equipment. Reach out and find out why we’re the best place to buy your gear.
