Local Stock
Everything that is in stock is actually in stock in Australia at the Testar warehouse. Items cannot be added to cart unless they are in stock so your order is ready to be shipped immediately. Testar has several hundreds of items imported from all across the world so you don’t have to wait. We do not like for you to wait for backorders and only large telescopes need to be ordered in.
24H Dispatch
Our promise is to prepare your order and ship it within 24 hours! Once you purchase your gears, we bet you want to receive them ASAP so you can enjoy the night sky. It would be cruel to receive a message saying "this item is on backorder" and then wait for weeks or months before to receive it. This does not happen with us! Place an order before 11:00 am (Sydney time) and it will be dispatched within the same day.

Customized solutions
Adapters, dovetails, backfocus calculations, filters, accessories... sometimes they talk a different language between each other. You may need an adapter to connect a mount to your pier or to design a special optical train for a particular equipment. We already offer a vast range of adapters for the most common threads and attachments. For any special requirement, you can contact us!
