I have bought a small amount of equipment from them. They also stock non-astro gear such as shooting equipment and military gear (optically themed of course) which could be an issue with some. You may want to consider "OPT" (Oceanside Photo and Telescope) whom I've dealt with for years. Our home town vendors should definitely be given an opportunity, Dean without question (Starizona) and I know there are others and I'm sure that the groups will point these out.

If we link to them, we should also offer to link to Starizona. Who else? Also, I would want them to cross link back to us. Your thoughts? Richard Harshaw Cave Creek, Arizona
