SPONSOR IN THE SPOTLIGHT: OPT
As most NCPS members know, our local, long-time supplier of cameras and telescopes has just
grown a whole lot bigger. A dazzling new showroom awaits visitors to Oceanside Photo and
Telescope (OPT), which recently moved to 918 Mission Avenue in Oceanside.
The showroom, replete with a digital work station and processing center, occupies nearly 9,000
square feet of space that is adorned with a star dome and cut glass compass in the center of its
floor. The building previously stood as a vacant eyesore until OPT owner Craig Weatherwax
purchased it last year and made extensive renovations to the space. Photographers will find an
array of compact, high-resolution digital and traditional film cameras by Canon, Nikon, Minolta,
and Olympus, plus lenses and other equipment suited to every skill level. A formidable display of
user-friendly robotic telescopes by Celestron, Meade and Discovery are also available as they
peer out to the street from the stores front windows.
