Astronomical shops in HK and TW ?

Post by Gary »

Anyone know of any good astronomical shops in Hong Kong or Taiwan ? I have friends going there for holiday soon. Wonder if it is cheaper to get stuff through them.

Thanks in advance.

Just a thought/ question, if there willing to bring a scope back for me from H.K I would like to offer some spending money for them? "For their effort".

I'm looking at a Meade etx! "Check out the price"

Thanks, what ever the out-come.

Hi,

Can try the Hong Kong Space Museum... got a shop selling astro stuff... selling mostly vixen stuff, some celestron and some unfamiliar brands...

Anyway, I no time to check the price, but I think should be cheaper than in Singapore.

Have a nice day.

mm..this looks like the Celestron equivalent of Grandeye.
No pricing listed for the N8 though...

Well, if you're not particular about branding and related stuffs. Try the night markets.

For HK, try http://www.fullyselect.com
Extremely cheap prices for extremely unknown made-in-china brands.
Good thing about night markets is that you can bargain down to 80% of the price easily.
