Abstract
Presented here in alphabetical order is a listing of primary sources for those binoculars typically used for stargazing. (Advertisements for many of these can be found in various issues of magazines such as Sky & Telescope and Astronomy since a number of these same companies also offer telescopes, as will be seen in the next chapter.) Note that most of the suppliers included in this compilation do not actually manufacture the various glasses listed but have them made to their specifications overseas (today, mainly from China, Taiwan and other optical facilities in the Orient). Note also that many of the dealers listed here handle other brands in addition to those having their own label on them.
