About AstroShop
MyAstroShop (Astro Shop) is a fully Australian owned company, we are authorised dealers (import and export) online shopping optical specialist. We also manufacture and develop our own products under the ProStar brand. We have storage and distribution based in NSW and QLD that ensures we can provide you our best shipping rates no matter where you are in Australia.
Originally establishing Astronomy Online in 2002, My Astro Shop (commonly known as just "Astro Shop" these days ) evolved out of a need to provide a more convenient service to amateur astronomers and other optical product shoppers seeking high quality products with outstanding after sale support. We offer a wide selection of carefully evaluated items at genuinely good prices along with manufacturer specials from time to time.
​
Reducing the Confusion
We pride ourselves on not always simply accepting manufacturer claims and it has always been our policy to evaluate products / brands we list hands on whenever possible to assess true quality, performance and value for money. We also take onboard first hand advice from our customers and other more product / brand specific experts on recommendations for certain items that meet our strict requirements thus helping you make the right choice. This is why Astro Shop has become a trusted name in telescope, binocular and accessories supply across Australia and overseas. See our customer testimonials.

Technical Support / Authorised Service Agents
Another thing that sets us apart from most others is our after sales product support. In fact, we are the company / dealership that importers / distributors often turn to for product evaluation and advice. Our proven record of expertise in not only professional observational Astronomy, but also our support team of skilled amateurs and engineers within our circles which has been of immense benefit to our loyal customers over the years. So when you buy from Astro Shop Australia you are also entering into a relationship for the future with genuine technical support and general assistance which can make all the difference.
We are also the authorised service agents for Sky-Watcher, Saxon, Moravian Instruments and Vixen products in Australia providing engineering and repair services to a wide range of optics and related electronics.
