Restorations Market — telescope.repair

The Market

No mystery scopes.

Every telescope in the market has been fully serviced by Lone Star Observatories. Optics cleaned, mirrors checked, mechanics rebuilt, collimation set, and star-test verified. Each listing includes the complete restoration log — what was found, what was fixed, and the star-test result.

The market is building.

Restoration work takes time done right. We’re currently servicing a collection of instruments that will be listed here once each has passed a live star test. Check back soon — or get notified when the first listings go live.
