ASTRO-PHYSICS INC
ASTRO-PHYSICS has been developing telescopes and accessories for the advanced amateur since 1975. They now offer an extensive line of precision telescopes and mountings, all with outstanding performance for a variety of observing needs.Their telescopes were developed with the active observer in mind. We have concentrated on those things that make observing a joy: sharp high-resolution optics, rugged vibration-free mountings and easy-to-use, effective accessories.Astro-Physics has been at the forefront of optical design for more than a decade. In the early 1980s, Mr. Roland Christen, founder and president of Astro-Physics, introduced the first high performance affordable apochromats to the amateur market. These early Astro-Physics refractors were quite revolutionary and were a major influence in the rebirth of refractors.
At Astro-Physics, they are fully committed to the production and development of amateur telescopes and accessories.Their goal is to produce the highest possible quality components and keep them affordable to the average amateur. Amateur telescopes are the only product that we produce; we do not get sidetracked into commercial or military projects.To these basic telescope components, they have added a whole list of accessories that make their telescopes versatile. From camera adapters to telecompressors, they have carefully designed them for their functionality and compatibility. They are all tested and proven in the field under actual observing conditions.
