Thanks for 20+ Great Years!
A hearty Thank You goes out to our great customers we've interacted with since 2002. Your support meant the world, allowing us to design and build telescopes, travel to deliver those telescopes, and market our wares at various Star Parties. It was a great run! But it was time for a change to rebalance the work-life schedule. Further, 2020 proved to be very hard on our supply chain. Various suppliers retired, various components were discontinued, prices increased dramatically and the production of our telescopes became more and more difficult. We had to redesign and modify and in the end it was decided we needed to go in a different direction. That's why at this time we have ceased accepting new orders and will be taking an indefinite break from commercial telescope making. We have sold all of our remaining inventory and exhausted our raw material supply.
After-Sales Service & Support Still Available
For those that have a TeeterScope telescope and need service/support, we are still here for you! The TeeterScope workshop is still active and we are still available via phone, Email and in person. Just because we are no longer building new telescopes doesn't mean we've left the industry completely. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require assistance with an existing TeeterScope, whether you are the original owner, second owner, third, etc.
