About us
We are a small family business, born from a great passion for astronomy. What started as a fascination with the starry sky grew into a place where we can share our love for the universe with others. Whether you're looking through a telescope for the first time and marveling at the Moon's craters, or you've been doing deep-sky astrophotography for years, we're here to help. Our goal is to make stargazing simple and accessible to everyone. With us, you'll find not only telescopes and accessories but also personal advice, honest recommendations, and a community of like-minded star enthusiasts. Because we believe that everyone, regardless of experience or age, should have the chance to discover the beauty of the universe.
The origin of Telescoop.nl
Telescoop.nl emerged from a deep fascination that has lived in our family for generations: the incredible vastness of the universe. Even as children, we never tired of the thought that there are billions of stars in our galaxy alone — and that each star has at least one planet on average. When you realize that there are billions of other galaxies besides, you can’t help but look at the night sky in awe.
Stargazing became a natural outlet for that wonder. The first time we looked at Saturn’s rings through a telescope was an unforgettable moment. Not just because it was beautiful, but because it made the infinite possibilities of the universe tangible.
However, we noticed that many people with the same curiosity struggled to really get started. In the past, astronomy was often complicated: large, heavy telescopes, complex manuals, and technical barriers made stargazing time-consuming and sometimes frustrating. Many beginners gave up before they could experience the real magic.
That had to change.
That’s why we founded Telescoop.nl: a place where young and old can discover the wonders of the universe without technical barriers. Thanks to innovative smart telescopes, accessible advice, and our passion for astronomy, stargazing is now easier and more fun than ever.
Whether you dream of capturing the moon, admiring the planets, or exploring distant nebulae and galaxies: we’re here to guide you on your journey through the universe. Because stargazing should be an adventure, not a challenge.

The service and communication during and after the busy end-of-year period 2024 was excellent: emails were answered quickly with clear, level-headed and professional advice.
After pointing out an omission on the website, they even offered to purchase a product at a discount, and so it happened.

I had a lot of contact with Guy over the past weeks because I wanted to purchase a QSI 583 (WS).
Every question I had was answered promptly and professionally by Guy.
Guy even wanted to quickly send the camera to me just before I went to France for an astro trip.
