New Lower Prices On Explore Scientific, Some of the Best Prices We’ve Ever Seen

Explore Scientific has introduced some serious price changes, and we’ve pulled together a dedicated collection page to make it easy to see exactly what’s included.

Some of the pricing in this sale is lower than we’ve ever seen before, especially on several Explore Scientific refractors that have long been customer favorites. These are serious telescopes—well-built, optically sound, and capable of delivering years of satisfying observing. 

You’ll also find a selection of Explore Scientific eyepieces included at special pricing. These are excellent values and very popular, but please note that eyepieces are expected to arrive late January to early February. If timing matters for an upcoming observing session, we want you to have that information up front.

We’ve created a simple collection page where you can browse the sale items much more easily than navigating the various website sections. The link below will always reflect the most up-to-date availability.

As always, if you’d like an honest recommendation—or want help deciding whether a particular telescope or eyepiece is a good match for your setup—we’re here to help. That’s part of the Astronomics difference.
