Good Telescope Retailer in Cincinnati Area

[andyschlei]

Could anyone recommend a good telescope retailer in the Cincinnati area? I have a friend in the market for a scope and they would benefit from talking directly with an honest salesperson.

Thanks in advance,

What about browsing www.telescope.com? Lots of good info there at least to get started. Plenty of other websites with good info as well out there.

He's been doing that but really needs the dialog that comes with talking directly with someone. My most satisfying purchases have been from a couple of west coast retailers who spent a fair amount of time with me explaining pros/cons and asking me a lot of questions about what I want.

nope, they have all closed up shop, but the local astro club has a strong following and the local observatory has a few scopes on display for purchase, mainly orion dobs, make him go to a star party
