ABOUT - Astro Shop

 

ABOUT US

Astro Shop is a division of Binary Systems Pty Limited established in 1999 and is a fully Australian owned company. We are an importer and export retail / mail order online shopping specialist also involved in the manufacturing and development of some of our own products under the registered trade mark of
ProStar®. We have product storage and delivery centres in both NSW and Queensland that ensures we can provide you our best shipping rates no matter where you are in Australia. Astro Shop was established to provide a more convenient and safe service to amateur astronomers and other internet optical product shoppers seeking a high quality respectable range of products. We offer a wide selection of carefully evaluated products at genuine discounts. Unlike several dealers in Australia, we don't provide misleading discounts on products then sting you on the delivery charge at the checkout.


We sincerely enjoy chatting with our genuine customers and sharing experiences as amateur astronomers in both visual and imaging pursuits and endeavour to offer our best advice where possible concerning our range of products.  Indeed, some retailers offer certain brands that we may not stock and in these instances we're happy to set you on the right path by recommending a reputable honest dealer.

Reducing the Confusion

Unlike most retailers and importers, it is our policy to pro actively evaluate products / brands we sell where and whenever possible for true quality and value for money. We also take onboard first hand advice from customers and other more specific product experts on recommendations for certain items that meet this mantra in order to help reduce consumer confusion. In other words.. if it's listed on the Astro Shop website, you can be assured that it's good gear! Sure, there are cheaper alternatives here and there but we proudly stand behind our manufacturer brands because if they pass muster!

Checking new products out is one of the great parts of the job we enjoy and we have had several product reviews published over the years - not as a business but as individuals. Often after evaluating new gear we special them off at cost or below. You should keep an eye on our seconds page.

As astro-gear junkies ourselves we have enjoyed being product testers for the renowned Sky-Watcher range of telescopes and associated automated mount systems over the years and will happily provide first-hand advice.
Astro Shop has grown a large customer base not only throughout Australia and New Zealand but we also export to several countries like U.K, U.S.A, Norway, Germany, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, South Africa and Japan.

ASTRONOMY SHOULD BE FUN & EDUCATIONAL

If you're starting out in astronomy it should be a pleasurable experience that will result in a life long passion because that's what this wonderful hobby is all about. We believe that having the right equipment for the job is absolutely essential.

SO WHY ASTRO SHOP?

1.)
We genuinely care about matching you up with the right instrument to meet your needs. We were beginners once and know how disappointing some well intentioned Xmas gifts can be. There's nothing worse than buying something you or a loved one may only use once simply because it didn't perform as advertised. We don't sell those junk telescopes or binoculars you'll find in many shop front stores or at auction sites. See a few of our customer testimonials here. Astro Shop have been a preferred supplier to several astronomy clubs (societies) and  government institutions including University of New South Wales, CSIRO, Australian National Telescope Facility (ATNF), the AAO (Australian Astronomical Observatory), Sydney Observatory and the Australian police force among others.

We love the hobby, testing the gear we sell, hearing from our customers and helping you in the long term.

2.) When you buy from Astro Shop, you can be assured you are 100% backed in Australia with complete after sales support, warranty and advice. Unlike some dealers, we don't consider your enquires a nuisance. Yes, we do occasionally get tiresome with the competition masking themselves as customers to access pricing or technical info... but genuine enquires are always welcome.

3.) We have one of Australia's largest range of telescopes, binoculars, field scopes and accessories from leading brands such as Vixen®, William Optics®, Sky-Watcher®, Celestron®, Bushnell®, Tasco®, Lumicon®, Jims Mobile, Moonlight, Lumicon®, Thousand Oaks Optical®, Baader® Farpoint, ProStar®, iOptron® and an more.

4.) All prices listed on our website are GST inclusive and our freight prices are often the best. No hidden surprises like cheap scopes and huge freight bills with us. Plus, we can deliver to your door throughout Australia.

5.) We also provide discounts to qualified clubs and societies for bulk order purchases. We have been proud sponsors of several astronomy society star parties and other public events over the years.
