A Note to Our Customers:

We know that waiting for your telescope to arrive can feel like an eternity.

Over the last several months, NMT has not been immune from the consequences of the global supply chain shortages. Delays have impacted our ability to obtain components in a timely manner, resulting in increased wait times for our customers. Some companies have mitigated delays by using inferior, but readily available products, however, NMT refuses to compromise the quality of any telescope. Many of our vendors are specialty small-business that produce hard-to-find components, even without a global crisis. We do not know when things will get “back to normal”, but until it does, we cannot guarantee completion or delivery dates. Thanks for hanging in there with us as we navigate this new challenge.


FAQs

 

Why are these “Hybrid” Telescopes?

Our telescopes are the perfect blend of stability, compactness and light weight engineering. Hence, The Hybrid.

How soon after placing my order can I expect my custom telescope to be shipped?

Our wait time has slowly creeped up and is now up to 12 months for a New Moon Telescope. Orders are still coming in, so if you’re interested in a custom hardwood telescope, we suggest you do so soon, as we may have to increase our lead time again, once a threshold is met.

I want a traditional UTA. Can I order one?

Yes! We offer both a Traditional UTA and a Carbon Fiber Sandwich Ring UTA.

Why would I choose a Carbon Fiber Truss Upgrade?

Carbon Fiber is lightweight and sturdy- the best upgrade option available.

What is the benefit to a “Carbon Fiber Sandwich Ring”?

The sandwich ring is more compact than a traditional UTA. Similar to a torsion box, it’s actually stiffer and less prone to vibration than its cousin, the single-ring UTA, or other lightweight options available on the market.
