Khan Scope Centre is a Premier Celestron dealer! Trade up what you have for what you want! Do you have a bulky telescope that's hard for you to handle now? Would you like a computerized telescope? Are you interested in astrophotography - but your telescope equipment isn't up to the task? Then take advantage of Khan Scope's Trade In / Trade Up Program! The choice is yours. You can either trade up for more modern equipment or trade down for a telescope which better suits you. Just drop by our Retail Store or contact us via email us. We also buy used telescopes for cash! Here is an unsolicited written Testimonial from a customerﾠ we received recently... "I am new to astronomy, and did not know anything about it, so my first reaction was 'Well, I will get something low end just in case don't like it.' I gave Khan a visit, and wow... the amount of time he spent educating me about the hows and whys of astronomy really changed my perception and confidence on purchasing the right telescope for me . The best part was when Alex showed me diagrams and picture comparisons of different size telescopes and models, eyepiecesﾠand so on. That kind of customer service is VERY hard to find anywhere else. I think what separates Khan from the other telescope retailers is that it's a passionate hobby for him not just a job. You can tell his enthusiasm right from the start, unlike other major telescope companies." Stephen P. Toronto, Ontario For Ordering Terms and Conditions, click here. |
