Dear Customers
It took a little while... but now we also have a modern Online-Shop
NEW: integrated knowledge-database
We have tried hard to create more than a "standard" online-shop. The wealth of information that grew over the years on our old website (detailed product application examples, customer review and practical results on Baader products) was integraded to this website in form of product description or additional product information (WordPress Posts).
A wealth of information awaits you.
NEW: detailed technical data
We added a lot of technical data to our products in the form of attributes. E.g all Baader adapters were measured anew. For all telescope- and eyepiece-sided connections, the adaptation options were defined and stored in form of sortable attributes.
Discover the required accessories for your equipment.
NEW: multiple search options
The left sidebar now allows setting a variety of attribute filters. For example, in the category "adapter & photo accessories" all adapters with telescope-sided T-2 (M42 x 0.75) thread can be selected to show up. Or you could choose in the category "eyepieces" a range of focal lengths. And if the sidebar does not suit you, then use our powerfull search function.
Find the product you are looking for - fast and easy.
NEW: interactive exchange possible
You can write a customer review on each products - with images / videos - and rate it with stars. Each review can be commented by other customers to allow a discussion on products. Furthermore each product has an "Ask Question" button. After clicking this button you can enter your product question. If you didn´t check "Is question private?" it will appear on the product page after moderation. It will be answered either by an admin or by other customers.
Share your experience and answer questions on products
SHIPPING: currently only to selected countries
Your country may not be available to be selected for initiating the shipping process. It means that we do ask you kindly to contact us for any product questions - and to contact our national distributor or one of it´s local dealers - for placing an order. Please have a look at our dealer locator which will further improve asap. Our distributors must set their prices in their national currency and consider their cost of import, distribute, and locally support Baader products. They also try to ensure that pricing is similar or less than the cost for a customer to import single items directly. This ensures parity across worldwide regions. The fluctuating exchange rates certainly complicate this pricing. Please take into account customs tariff, import charges and UPS-insured shipping when comparing prices on this site. You will find that most prices available published in your own country actually are similar to a direct imported price in Euros. We do not ship via postal service because regular post - and DHL even - are unable to track parcels outside of Germany. It has caused a lot of frustration with lost shipments were we had to take the loss finally. This is another reason why we do not send individual orders but supply to distributors with forwarders that will monitor the complete route door to door.
CURRENT SITUATION - and what awaits in the future
Currently only Baader products have been implemented into the .com website. A comparison between the old 49 Baader product-sections at baader-planetarium.de and the corresponding new menu-structure at baader-planetarium.com can be found below. Products of our contractual partners and the guest brands that we represent in Germany or Europe are not yet implemented into the .com website. Products of 10Micron, AstroPhysics, Alt, ATIK, Avalon, Celestron, Optec, Planewave, Software Bisque, Starlight Instruments, TEC and Zeiss are still to be found on our .de websites. All of these guest-brand presentations will be easier to navigate in the new system as well - but it still takes some time to move that content. We do ask for your patience.
2016 – is our 50th year of operation. A decent anniversary announcement will follow - with actions and product offerings - once all other brands that we represent have also moved to the new site.
We appreciate your comments and / or questions about this website in the comment form at the end of this post.
Sincerely yours,
Baader Planetarium Web-Team
