TeleVue Telescopes and Accessories

Tele Vue Optics has been thrilling customers for nearly thirty years. TeleVue telescopes are among the world's finest fast focal ratio apochromatic refractors. Unlike the majority of consumer telescopes available today, these exquisite optical instruments are produced right here in the USA. Every TeleVue refractor is assembled, collimated and tested in their Chester, New York facility. In the unlikely event that you TeleVue refractor should ever need service, the very same people who built it will also service it.

Apochromatic Refractors

High quality small apochromatic (APO) refractors by TeleVue offer portability, versatility, wide field of view, day/night viewing, and a range of magnifications that large instruments simply cannot provide.

Star Diagonals

TeleVue star diagonal bodies are machined from solid blocks of aluminum to assure permanent alignment of the optics. The one piece body construction also means heavy accessories can't force the diagonal body to "unscrew" from the barrel as with other brands.
