Much appreciation goes out to the amateur astronomy community who has supported us, and continues to do so, over the last 20+ years that we have been in business. February, 2022, will mark the start of our 20th year of building our custom made TeeterScope telescopes! When I started this business in my parent's garage in Howell, NJ, in 2002 I didn't know what the future would hold. My hopes were modest, I simply wanted an outlet for my telescope building addiction. Over 300 telescopes later, each one unique and each one with a story, I feel like I have exceeded my original intention. Thank you to everyone who purchased a TeeterScope from us, and thank you to those who have been exceedingly patient these last 2.5 years when production has lagged. Our final orders have been taken and will certainly keep us busy through the remainder of the year. No more orders will be accepted as I take 2023 and beyond to focus on other endeavors, personal and work. It's been a pleasure to serve this great community of amateur astronomers. Clear, dark, skies to you all!

Compared to a competitor, the Teeter is superior in design & integrated accessories. Teeter Scopes are the best!

Other than the marital discord from staying out too many nights, I couldn't be happier! It's such a beautiful scope!
