About High Point

Just one look up on a clear night and the mind is captivated. It doesn’t matter if you are a child or an adult, the night sky captures our imagination like nothing else can!

High Point exists to coach and nurture aspiring amateur astronomers and astrophotographers. Our founders believe that the experience you have with the company you purchase your astronomy gear from sets the tone for your experience under the night sky. Our team is here for you, they're rooting for you, and they want to support you through your celestial journey!

We achieve this by selling time machines! Telescopes and astrophotography gear take us to a distant place at a distant time, millions of light-years away. These are technical instruments, there is a learning curve associated with them and they require experienced, expert support. Our team of gear experts and technical support specialists is rigorously and continuously trained. They have over 150 years of combined experience serving the amateur astronomy and astrophotography community. We’re not talking 150 years of combined experience recreationally using the gear we offer. We’re talking 150 years of combined experience, in the thick of it, as a full-time career, serving the community day in and day out with exceptional customer service. This is what makes us different from everyone else who serves this community!
