links to retail store sites
CAMTECH Photographic http://camtechphoto.com
A full service independent photographic store in Hamilton. They say they have
the largest selection of telescopes in the Golden Horseshoe.
EfstonScience http://escience.ca
Toronto's science and astronomy "superstore." You can't (if heading
along Toronto's Dufferin Ave south of the 401) miss it: they have the huge telescope
on the roof! This is where I bought my Celestron SP-C8 catadioptric (and dew shield
and dew heaters) from. I continue to visit for accessories, books, science gadgets.
Lots of great stuff for kids. They also run observing sessions outside the city.
Gifts From The Earth
A little shop in Carrot Common on the
Danforth, in Toronto. In addition to new age music and crystals, they have a few
telescopes.
Kendrick http://kendrickastro.com
An astronomy shop in Toronto. These guys are the makers of my dew removal system!
This is where I bought Mom's Telrad, Sky & Telescope Messier Card, and new
2" mirror. Update: retail outlet closed; Kendrick will continue to sell
their products (on-line only)...
Khan Scope Centre http://khanscope.com
Another local Toronto shop where I did a lot of research before I bought my
first scope and where I have bought a few accessories, including a new eyepiece,
and a green laser. They too are along "telescope alley," on Dufferin
St, just below the 401.
KW Telescope and Nature http://kwtelescope.com
A highly recommended shop serving the Kitchener-Waterloo area.
Perceptor http://perceptor.ca
For those in the north-west (near Orangeville), Perceptor has been around for
some time. But it is now under new management.
RadioWorld http://radioworld.ca
A great store for radio equipment, obviously, at the Vaughan-Toronto boundary.
They also carry stationary and mobile weather stations. There is where I ordered
and bought my Oregon Scientific portable unit. Finally, they sell a few telescopes.
Science City http://www.sciencecity.ca
Another local Toronto store with science and astronomy items. Lots of great stuff
for kids. I've bought many a Space Pen and planisphere here! Located at the Centre
of the Universe, Yonge and Bloor, in Toronto... ;-)
