Just a word of advice - do your Christmas shopping early this year for the best selection of beginner telescopes. With a surprisingly strong showing at the retail stores on “Black” Friday, the more popular beginner and kid telescopes will be selling out soon.
Check out the recommended beginner telescopes from Amazon — they do have a great selection of name brand telescopes and their shipping costs are generally quite reasonable. In most cases, they have lower shipping costs than most of the specialty optics stores. In fact, many of the recommended telescopes qualify for their FREE Super Saver shipping, but you must buy early to assure these Christmas gifts arrive before December 25.
So, don’t disappoint your young astronomer because you waited too long to purchase their Christmas present - a brand new telescope. Shop early and make sure everyone has a Happy Holiday!
