Scopin'USA exclusively uses telescopes and mounts custom manufactured by our late friend and colleague Pierre Y. Schwaar (1946-2000). Pierre designed and manufactured world class newtonian telescopes and equitorial mounts for most of his adult life. These telescopes are unique and elegant as well as wonderfully functional creations. The astronomical community will continue to sorely miss Pierre and his imagination. We are proud to demonstrate the capabilities of his machinery to you. |
