Starizona


We believe astronomy is for everyone.


Home to the HyperStar Lens and Hyperion Telescope, Starizona is more than just a retail store in Tucson, Arizona. We specialize in online shopping for telescopes, binoculars, software, books, and star guides for astronomy and birding, as well as video tutorials and hands-on training covering everything from telescope basics to deep sky imaging. We also offer free nightly viewing on Friday and Saturday nights. Our HyperStar Lens is currently being used on the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the ISERV Mission. (http://starizona.com/acb/hyperstar/iss/index.html) Our HyperStar Lens and MicroTouch Focuser are also favorites among scientists like Dr. Stephen Hawking, and comet hunters David H. Levy and Terry Lovejoy. 1995-2015: Celebrating 20 years in business, imaging at the speed of light!

So we sell a lot of telescopes that are just regular commercial scopes but we also do, we manufacture our own telescopes and optics and accessories and t Our main thing is what's called a hyperstar lens and it's a lens that goes on to a chmitcasa grain type telescope It converts the telescope from F10 to F2 so it makes it 25 times faster photographically so people are able to take pictures in a matter of minutes that otherwise would take hours to take pictures of the nebulas and things And then we make our own telescopes, the Hyperion telescopes, 12. 5 inch and 16 inch that are made for high resolution imaging and they allow to build in features like wireless control and instr It's pretty cool. On the weekends, Friday and Saturday nights we put telescopes out for the public to view and Tucson's better than a lot of cities in terms of light pollution. We set up right in front of the shop next to a six lane road and a circle K and so it's not ideal but we do all right. We've got pretty clear skies. Mostly just for amateur astronomers so even the
