Yep, S&S Optica. Cathy is the greatest. I just can't keep from walking in there occasionally....bought both my scopes there and absolutely love their customer service. Really wish they'd upgrade their online site though. It'd be nice if people could order online from them; but I guess to them, the "hands on" customer service means a lot. I've ordered eyepieces and bits from other online sources (and some I've bought from S&S), but for ANY major purchase--I'm going to S&S because I want to KEEP my Brick and Morter Store going.....

I went there years ago when it was an astronomy store, and the customer service was horrible.

It's still an astronomy store, and my experience is that Anacortes' service is excellent.
