Welcome to Hands on Optics
Hands on Optics is the retail division of ScopesUSA. Founded by a true hobbyist and former astronomy teacher who built his first telescope 40 years ago, Hands on Optics takes the time to match the right scope or binoculars to the user. The right telescope collects crowds and wrong ones collect dust. We can help you with your selection whether you are a first time buyer, institution or seasoned professional.
