Top best telescope makers

There are many telescope vendors around the world who boast a lot about their performance, credibility, clarity..etc.. etc..

But there are very few vendors who really stand 'Outstanding' in the satisfaction of newbie as well as professional astronomers..

ekhagola tries to bring best in class to you among the telescope vendors.. Three best in class vendors are 
  • Meadae  
  • Orion
  • Celestron 
1. Meade. 



Visit: http://www.meade.com


Innovation has been the key to success for this company. The instruments are class apart. 

Meade Instruments Corp.
Founded in 1972 and public since 1997, Meade is a world leader in the design and manufacture of telescopes and accessories for amateur astronomers. The Company's innovative and technologically advanced products are recognized to be among the best in the world.
2. Orion
Orion Telescopes & Binoculars is an American-based retailer of foreign manufactured telescopes and other equipment for astronomy that also sells some equipment for other areas of interest, such as birdwatching. It operates several retail stores in California as well as an online store and a semi-quarterly mail-order catalog.
Orion Telescopes & Binoculars was founded in 1975 by Tim Gieseler, who served as its only president and CEO. Since January, 2005, it has been owned by Imaginova, the U.S. conglomorate founded in 1999 by CNN business anchor Lou Dobbs. Between the mid-1990s and 2005, Orion only sold binoculars, telescopes and accessories under the "Orion" brand, but since the Imaginova acquisition, Orion has started to sell non-Orion brand products as well, including Tele Vue eyepieces, Celestron 8 and 11-inch (280 mm) Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.
3. Celestron: 

Welcome to the world of high class products from "Orange" laboratory.. 
Celestron was the first large scale commercial manufacturer of the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, introducing its "C8" 8" diameter 2032 mm focal length, ƒ10 telescope in the mid-1960s. The telescope, with its trademark matte orange tube (changed to glossy black in 1980, and back to semi-gloss orange in 2006), and double-fork equatorial mount, has been a popular large aperture, compact design.
