Abstract
Presented here in alphabetical order is a listing of most of the primary sources for astronomical telescopes. Advertisements for many of these will be found in various issues of magazines such as Sky & Telescope and Astronomy. (The ads in such periodicals are also a good way to keep up with new sources that appear on the market after this book has gone to press.) A majority of the companies in this compilation do not actually manufacture the instruments listed but have them made to their specifications overseas (today, mainly from China, Taiwan and other optical facilities in the Orient).
