SHIPPING & INSURANCE NOTES

Insurance cover for goods in transit is available from us for only $2 per $100 value of goods. Please advise us if you require this option when ordering.

Please consider insurance because
we are not responsible for loss of parcels or damage sustained by parcels as the carrier is responsible!
We do pack well! If your order (e.g. telescope or binocular) is damaged
in-transit by the freight company then you must claim on the freight company, not ourselves!!

If you have paid us for insurance
then you simply claim on us.

We are quick at resolving damage claims, compared to many freight companies.

Warranty cover is NOT insurance cover. Warranty applies only to manufacturing faults, of course.

Please do NOT write <fragile> on anything you send to us as doing so greatly increases risk of damage. Please try to "double-box" all products sent to us.

OPTICAL DESIGN NOTES

Ritchey-Chretien astrographs are generally regarded as being the best design for astrophotography.

Ritchey-Chretien (RC) optical designs are generally regarded
as being optically superior to Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT)
designs and "edge" corrected
SCTs due to their resulting
flatter field.

  Schmidt-Cassegrain optical designs are generally regarded
as being superior to Maksutov-Cassegrain designs due to their higher light transmission, etc.
