I haven't had much need to buy astronomy gear over the past 15 years, as my telescopes are all excellent for my needs, and I am more than happy with the 4 Pelican cases full of eyepieces I have had for a very long time. On the rare occasions I do need something, I always call Don at Bintel.

They may not always be the cheapest, but I am more than happy to pay the very small premium for the exceptional customer service. Don has been an astronomer himself for decades and knows what most people need, unlike many astronomy retailers who merely redistribute cardboard boxes and tell people what they think they want to hear.

Cheers,
