Explore Scientific
Astronomy outreach enthusiast and former VP of Meade Instruments, Scott W. Roberts, announced his return to the telescope manufacturing industry in 2008 with the launch of Explore Scientific, LLC. Explore Scientific has become one of the fastest growing brands in our lineup, and it is easy to see why. The telescopes and eyepieces offered by Explore Scientific represent some of the best values available to the amateur astronomer today. They were the first company to answer the new gold standard of eyepiece designs with their 100 degree apparent field series, and they remain the only credible mainstream alternative to the industry leader. Skies Unlimited expects great things from Explore Scientific in the future, and we are proud to have been a part of their successful market launch.
