Abstract
Presented here in alphabetical order is a listing of the primary sources for astronomical binoculars. Note that this compilation does not include dealers themselves, advertisements for whom can be readily found in the various astronomical magazines such as Sky & Telescope. Under the company’s name are its mailing address, phone number/s where available, Internet web site and/or e-mail address, and a concise listing of those glasses being offered at the time of writing. Apertures smaller than 30 mm are not included here, being largely unsuited for astronomical use. Readers should contact these sources directly for copies of their latest catalogs, specifications for specific models, current prices, shipping charges, delivery times, and warranty and return policy. In some cases, their catalogs are also available on-line as well as by mail. Porro and roof-prism styles, zoom and waterproof models, wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle glasses, mini and giant binoculars, affordable basic units and costly premium ones (including image-stabilized glasses and even telescopic binoculars) are all to be found among the various product lines offered by the sources below!
