    Default Telescope Dealers WP CBD

    Hi any one know of telescopes dealers/shops here in the Western Cape CBD & Surrounds.

    I'm looking for someone who stocks the Orion Sky Quest XT8 telescope.

    The few that I've found here only stock Celestron.

    Hi there

    The only places in Cape Town that stock telescopes are Dad's Toys and Noyes Pharmacy ( speak to Adri in their camera section).

    If you want to i can put you in touch with a person in Somerset-West who has a massive amount of new and second hand equipment to sell.

    I have always had good service from the local online shops:

    Where do you stay? The amount of people that do amateur astronomy on the forum are few and far between.

    I live in Cape Town, TechnoPro has the telescope I want... But first prize is to get it from a store where I can get some after sales support since I'm new to this.

    http://www.audiolens.co.za/ also has what looks to be nice celestron scopes, But the Orion 8inch Reflector seems better... I've looked through it before under heavey light pollution and could still get good features on Jupiter and Saturn..

    Hi there. Did you end up buying the GR8 Orion?
