Hope all the fine folks here on SAA are blessed (if you believe in
that sort of thing) with health and wealth in the new year.

That said, I'd like to know from the average Joe (not the folks who own
stock) the credibility of some of these telescope retailers. Customer
support, return policy, exchange, etc...

1) ORION: (www.telescope.com)
I have first hand experience with Orion. Most agree they're top notch.

2) ASTRONOMICS: (www.astronomics.com)
A friend in my club (PASNOLA) warned me against Astronomics. His bad
experience was probably just an isolated event because Jan stated a few
days ago that he had a long history of good service with Astronomics.

3) TELESCOPES: (www.telescopes.com)
???????

4) OPT: (www.optcorp.com)
???????

Others?
