The telescopes listed below are in various stages of completion. The further toward the top the closer they are to completion. Those toward the bottom may at this point just be a primary mirror with a structure not yet started. When the telescope is completed and field tested the status will be updated to "Available." At that point the telescope will be available for purchase, but not before.
Feel free to Email us for more specific information or to let us know your interest in a specific telescope, we can put your name on a wait list and contact you when the build is nearer completion. But, until the telescope is complete we will not accept deposits or reservations. That keeps things more informal and less stressful for all parties involved.
The list below is provided as a means to summarize what we have "in the works" and a way for any interested clients to plan for a potential future purchase.

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