Refractor telescopes, reflector telescope, dob, dobsonian
Welcome to Meridian Telescopes
Established in 1999
|
Meridian Telescopes is proud to distribute many of the components and materials for you to build your own telescope.
We also sell complete refractor and reflector telescopes, including reflector telescopes on dobsonian (dob) bases.
See our green laser pointers and planispheres.
Our newest offerings include an observing chair, a laser collimator and focal reducers.
We provide telescope components that offer good value for the dollar spent as well as those hard to find items.
Are you building a truss type telescope? You will find Dupont PTFE and kydex plastic sheet in various sizes for
you to choose from. Have you ever wondered where you can find SONOTUBE fiber tubing for your telescope tube or where you can find quality
telescope eyepieces or diagonal mirrors?
Have you ever considered a personal observatory telescope, pier or telescope equatorial mount? Well, look no further,
we carry each of those items to support your astronomy hobby. We have been in business since April of 1999 serving the astronomy community with our telescope products.
We invite you to browse through our Online Catalog.

Speers-Waler Eyepieces - Antares
These 8 and 9 element designs offer the serious observer impressive wide angle, long eye relief performance. A wide, well corrected field is critical to an ocular's function, but without adequate eye relief, the thrill of the experience will be lost. Speers-Waler series eyepieces provide eye relief
and apparent field in a balance that yields scintillating views in comfort. All Antares Speers-Waler series are state of the art in modern ocular construction.Click here for prices. |

StarBound Observing Chair
This great observing chair features a padded seat, filled with a durable material that will not rot or decay over time in heat or cold.
It has an adjustable height - with a reach broad enough to put an observer at a comfortable position for a variety of telescope eyepiece heights.
This chair has the ability to fold into a compact, flat profile for transporting.
Wide legs provide good lateral stability - so that if an observer leans left or right the chair will not easily tip over.
And the finish is made with good quality materials, resistant to rust or corrosion.

SCT f/6.3 Focal Reducer
A focal reducer is a lens system that mounts on the rear cell of a telescope in
front of a flip-mirror, camera, or diagonal and eyepiece. The focal reducer acts as a wide-angle converter and changes the focal
ratio; the effective focal length of a telescope. Focal reducers are particularly useful when using affordable CCD cameras
because they use small CCD chips and thus do not view a large area of sky. Most deep-sky objects, nebulae and galaxies, are
larger than this view. A focal reducer helps to fit the image on the CCD chip. If you plan to do deep-sky photography with a CCD
camera, you probably will need to get a focal reducer.Click here for prices. |

Side View Laser Collimator
All newtonian type telescopes need the optics collimated periodically. This laser collimator makes the task simple and easy. Features
a side view window that helps verify the collimation is spot on. High quality, fully machined all metal housing.
The collimator fits your 1.25" focuser or focuser adaptor. It weighs only 9 ounces and is 5.625" in length. Made in Canada.
