THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, A TITAN RISES AGAIN

From the misty shores of Japan comes a familiar rumble — the kind that shakes observing fields, frightens lesser optics, and sends starlight quivering in its diffraction spikes. Yes, stargazers… Takzilla has returned.

Towering above the skyline with a fluorite glint in its eye, this gentle giant brings gifts instead of destruction: a full 20% off select Takahashi telescopes, all either in stock or making their steady trans-Pacific march toward our warehouse.

Whether you’ve dreamed of the color-pure elegance of an FC refractor, the legendary muscle of the TOA-130, or the razor-fast precision of the Epsilon astrographs, this is your once-per-orbit chance to welcome one of these Japanese marvels into your observing life.

And like any great monster-movie event, it won’t last forever.

The Return of Takzilla Sale runs from November 28, 2025 through January 4, 2026.

After that, the beast slumbers once more… and so do the prices.

Prepare your tripod. Steady your mount.  And whatever you do — don’t look directly into the brilliance of a Takahashi without proper filtering.

Browse the full lineup before Takzilla wades back into the Pacific...
