Description

Specialties

We are a family owned telescope, binocular, and optics company that has been in business since 1979. Not only do we ship our products around the world, but we have our own brand of products (Astro-​Tech) and have the largest telescope showroom in the US and possibly the world. We are also lucky enough to own the largest astronomy forum in www​.clou​dynights​.com. Essentially we have you covered no matter what your interest is in astronomy, bird watching, or general observation.

History

Established in 1979.

My father, Fred Bieler, owned an advertising agency. He was able to convince some of his clients to put a telescope in their window so people would stop to look at their display. He bought 6, and sold them all in the first week. After that a light bulb went off in his head and Astronomics was born.

First year sales came in a hair over $ 9,000. Today, we are one of the largest telescope retailers in the world helping people pick the right telescope the first time.

Around 2005 we decided to expand our offering and develop our own product line, Astro-​Tech, which is now sold all over the world. To help grow the hobby/​passion of astronomy we also purchased the largest astronomy forum, www​.clou​dynights​.com, to provide it with the financial backing it needed to continue to grow and help astronomers on the internet around the world.

In 2012 we completed the renovation of a historic building in downtown Norman, Oklahoma which is now the largest showroom in the United States.
