The New Sky-Watcher Gear:
Pages Live, Prices Posted
Last week we said details would follow. Here are the first two.
Saturday's letter covered what Sky-Watcher announced on October 1. Two of those products now have full pages on khanscope.com with Canadian pricing, and you can place an order today. Neither has landed in Toronto yet; orders are filled in the order they are placed as Sky-Watcher ships to us.

Sky-Watcher Dobsonians on Sale
Dark by dinner time. This is the month a Dobsonian earns its floor space.
Sky-Watcher's October promotion covers the Dobsonian line from the tabletop Heritage to the 12" Flextube. Aperture is still the cheapest way to see more, and from a Bortle 7 backyard an 8" Dob on Saturn, the Moon and the brighter clusters is hard to argue with. The six below are in stock at Dufferin Street today.
Sale pricing ends October 31. The 10" and 12" are one unit each. Shipping surcharges may apply on the larger Dobsonians; call us for a quote.
ZWO Seestar S50 Pro
On the shelf today. And yes, we will take your current smart telescope in trade.
The S50 Pro is still in stock, in limited quantity. 50mm f/5 quadruplet APO, 4K Sony sensor, dual lens, equatorial mode, and a battery that lasts the night.
Thinking of upgrading your smart telescope for a newer model? We do that too. Seestar, DWARF, Vaonis, Unistellar, Celestron Origin: tell us what you have and what condition it is in, and we will give you a trade-in value toward the S50 Pro or anything else in the store.

Pre-Owned Gear on the Shelf
Checked over by our staff. One of each, so first order gets it.
Every item here came in from a customer who traded up or sold us their equipment. Two of them are smart telescopes, which is what happens when people upgrade.
