Where can I buy a telescope mirror?

[wendell100]

I want to build a telescope but do not know where to by the mirror for a good deal. or is it cheaper just buying a telescope?

Cheaper to buy the scope unless you want something specific.

Least costly would be a GSO mirror from TS in Germany.:

Oldham Optics sell them, Galvoptics used to but they seem to have stopped.

OOPs, just read Winnipeg. Do you want a "standard" one as per GSO or a "premium" one as http://zambutomirrors.com/index.html

Also check Hubble Optics: http://hubble-optics.com/

I don't think Astroboot will post to Winnipeg.

Not Canada but Agena Astro sell GSO mirrors: http://agenaastro.com/parts-accessories/mirrors-holders/primary-mirrors.html

Would expect a Canadian retailer to have some but cannot track one down.

You must get good skies in Winnipeg. Getting cold at this time I suspect.

Canada has it's own version of the Astro Buy & Sell web site. You could post a "wanted" advert on there or check out some of the dealers who advertise on it:
