OPT TelescopesReviews of optcorp.com

As a dedicated astronomy enthusiast and serial shopper, I was blown away by the quality of OPT Telescopes. Their selection delivers powerful performance that transforms night sky observation into an unforgettable adventure. The craftsmanship shines through in every detail, offering incredible value that justifies every penny spent. I highly recommend diving in and grabbing one for yourself to elevate your cosmic journeys.

I've spent quite some $$$ over the years with this company and over 17 months ago I placed an order for an Exploradome with 50% down upfront and an acknowledgment that it may take a while and not refund available So fast forward to today and after multiple updates from an original 8 months waiting time, they have gone radio silent over the last few weeks, which prompted me to create a BBB complaint and reach out to even the CEO and no response. Be careful with this company's 50% down for observatories or other not-in-stock items.

Getting back into Astrophotography, I knew I needed a really GOOD camera at a really GOOD price. My order placed on Thursday was received the following Monday. The ASI224MC camera performed beyond expectations and the only limits are that of me learning how to fully use/appreciate the great pictures this camera is capable of delivering. Great Product, Great Service, Who could ask for more? ;-)

If you own a telescope under 6" Apeture then filters which work by blocking out some specific colors ( like the 82a) or multiple types of light (like a "UHC" type) filter. I use this filter on a 90 mm refractor in Suburban Skies which have quite a bit of light pollution to look at planets such as Jupiter and Saturn. The light blue 82a filter does not block as much light as the traditional number 80 blue filter so I can get the benefit of a filter using the 82a without dimming the image too much... smaller telescopes like my grab and go 90 mm don't collect a whole lot of light so something that doesn't dim the image too much is really nice. And I will tell you using the 82a really helps you see the bands on Jupiter and makes Saturn look nice as well try one and I think you will like it

I ordered a used celestron 8 gps from opt telescopes. Item arrived promptly with some excellent extras including 3 2"eyepieces and a 1.25" celestron eyepiece kit. The telescope and accessories are all in great shape and performed without flaws. The price for the telescope was very reasonable and the items arrived promptly. A good retailer.

Terrific people. Take the time to talk to you, understand your needs and make good suggestions. And I am not saying this based on one transaction but based on many.

I had one of the best experiences with OPT corp. I was skeptical about placing an order for my HEQ 5 mount as it was not in stock and OPT usually charges to place us on the list. Their sales team was prompt in responding to all my queries and also assured with a ETA of the product. I made the purchase and boy were they spot on with their estimate. So yes you can trust OPT on placing expensive orders even if it is backordered or out of stock. Just call them!! Also, they were the only place where I could get my HEQ 5 mount within 2 weeks. Cheers and Clear skies

I've been looking for an 8" Celestron--backordered everywhere. OPT showed it as in stock. I sent a chat asking if the item was actually in stock--that if I ordered it, it would ship the next day. I received a reply within an hour or so that it was in stock. They sent me an email invoice for the item, making it easy to order. I purchased it, it shipped within a day, and arrived within a few days. Easy transaction, and I was very satisfied with the customer service.
