Designing & Fabricating Quality Telescope Components

Welcome and thank you for visiting. Optical Supports is a manufacurer of astronomy equipment with new products available. Please visit the News section for information on several other products that are currently in development and will be available for purchase soon.

If you have a very specific need that is not exactly met by my product offerings, please don’t hesitate to inquire about custom design and fabrication. More information regarding my capacity for custom work is outlined on this page.

New and more versatile mirror cells - Coming in July

New and improved cells are currently in development, featuring the flexibility to support either conical or flat primary mirrors in a single unit. Configuration for each format is easy and intuitive, affording the flexibility to replace or upgrade optics with a different format while retaining the same cell. Key design elements will be retained from previous models, such as 6061-T6 aluminum construction, black anodizing, stainless steel hardware, and compatibility with a wide range of telescope tube inner diameters. First availability is anticipated for middle to late July, 2010.
