NEW FX Series Telescopes
Announcing the 14.5" F/4, and the
16.5", 18", 20", 24", 28" and 30" F/3.7 FX telescopes


We are proud to announce that Mike Lockwood, of Lockwood Custom Optics,
is fabricating the optics exclusively for the FX series.

Delivery times for FX telescopes are currently 2-9 months, depending on size.
Welcome to the Starmaster Telescopes web page. Thank you for taking the time to visit our little corner of cyberspace.

Starmaster manufactures two lines of telescopes -- our 11" through 14.5" Hybrid Scopes and our 16.5" through 30" conventional Truss Scopes.

We have included information about our Optics and our Quality Assurance program, an Owner Feedback section with customer comments, a Starmaster Owners Photo Album, and even email addresses of telescope owners who can answer your questions from the user's point of view.

There is other information as well, so take a few minutes and explore our site. If you can't find what you're looking for, try our Site Map & Search or drop us an email. Also note that we are currently NOT accepting international inquiries and orders.

Do you know if your secondary mirror is good over its entire surface? We do. Our secondary mirrors are now being tested and refigured, if necessary, by Mike Lockwood. Click here for Mike's secondary mirror testing page.

Starmaster Telescopes attended the 2006 ICSTARS Star Party in October near Warrensburg, Missouri.

The StarGarden Foundation owns and operates the Douglas Observatory located on the ICSTARS Ranch where the annual star party is held. Dedication ceremonies were held to officially open the new education center next to the observatory. The observatory has a 24-inch Starmaster as the heart of its observing telescopes. StarGarden president, the late Vic Winter, above left, with the help of Shadow Winter unveiled the name of the center to a surprised Rick Singmaster.


All major components of Starmaster Telescopes are made with pride in the United States of America by small, community based companies.

Note:
-Cancelled orders will be subject to a restocking fee which will be equal to 15% of the BASE price of the telescope, NO EXCEPTIONS.
-Orders are not transferable without permission of Starmaster Telescopes and will be subject to additional fees.
-Due to a shortage of pyrex mirror blanks, we are no longer accepting international orders, except from Canada.
