Great service, extremely fast delivery and can't complain about the price, particularly when an astronomer told me how impressed he was with what I got for the money I spent.

I would give 6 stars if I could. The staff are both professional and lovely to deal with. They answered all my queries in prompt fashion and helped me with my purchase in store. If you're after any new optics I'd highly recommend dropping by.
